Extra long cottage weekend

We spent 5 days at the cottage for an extended long weekend and *gasp* the weather was actually nice. We were outside every day kayaking, boating, swimming in decently warm water, eating yummy food, and getting bitten by mosquitos!

The drive up was horiffic, but we managed to pick up a pack of fireworks for the holiday on the way and stop to play at a playground outside the store. This added a small element of excitement to the otherwise brutal drive. Grandma and Grandpa were there for the first few days joining us for the Turcsanyi Fireworks Spectacular, and cooking a completely blackened turkey in the deepfryer (black on outside, juicy on inside--wish we had a picture).

And then Mary Jo, Robin and Evan came up, joining us for my birthday on the 4th. It was so nice to see everyone, wish we could have visited longer.

Rose's first boat ride:

They love wagon rides, but the bugs were so bad and annoying:


She was super dirty and needed to be stripped and chucked in the lake:
Mommy's birthday morning. Waffles and then presents.:
Pictures are a bit out of order...this is Paige catching fish off the dock on the first day.










Grandpa fishes alone with the Dora rod: I tried numerous times to take a photo for the Cottage Life Magazine contest. I tried to submit one last year, but was too late.
Paige's first tubing ride. It was a bit uncomfortable to hold Paige and look where we were going. My neck was going to snap off:









Daddy and Paige had a bit more fun as they were heavier and could go faster:



Paige and my Dad picked mini strawberries at the road. They were soooo sour like a sour candy, but juicy.







Rose can fully eat a corn on the cob with her massive amounts of teeth:
