At 4:30AM on Saturday morning we got up and got ready for the ride up to the cottage. It was a smooth ride with no long weekend traffic. I guess that's the advantage in leaving early but by the time we got up there, we all needed a nap! Mae & Glenn made their grand appearance mid afternoon with both kids in tow. As always, the weekend was full of eating. Apparently we brought way too much food but I'm a firm believer in bringing more versus not enough. The weather was absolutely beautiful. We couldn't ask for a better weekend. Jared enjoyed playing in the water and going out on canoe rides with the boys. I took Jared's spot in the middle of the canoe while Di and Mae did all the rowing. I guess there is an advantage in being small. At the end of our canoe trip, Mae tried to make me fall into the water but in the end she made herself fall - but Gerwyn saved her. All weekend the boys went fishing. They even took the canoe out to the middle of the lake and they came back empty handed. The girls tried their luck on the dock and voila! - fish were coming to us like we were celebrities. Glenn eventually caught one, Norm had no luck and Gerwyn caught...a tree. (See facebook for the video clip) It was hilarious! Another highlight was the stars at night. It was fun gathering around the fire and watching the stars and the moon light the lake. All in all it was a wonderful, relaxing weekend and an awesome way to end summer. Until next year...
