Cottage weekend...

Robin and Evan were at the cottage for their yearly visit, so we were able to see them for the weekend.  We all swam so much as the weather was really hot.  A lot of times we were all in the water together. The cottage would really heat up during the day, and the girls love to play in the water, so it was the obvious choice of activity. I was particularly lucky as Paige decided she loved to pull me around on my new blow up raft.  She was a horse and would swim around pulling me along.  So basically I could just sit there and relax for a half hour or so.  Seriously this went on for a really long time on multiple occasions.  I could even say "swim me over to the neighbours for a minute" and off she'd go.

I took this photo of Rose as I have one of Paige in the same jammies on the same chair at around the same age ( well, around 3 months younger).  See the photo here.



Paige in a nightgown, pants and sweathshirt.  She was cold when she woke up, although it wasn't actually cold.  Maybe "slightly cool".

Scout shaking off after a swim.  She randomly swam a little bit on her own, but mainly walked around in the water up to her shoulder area. (Maybe I should also point out that it wasn't all swimming and cooling off in the water--often it was stealing toys and running awaywith them or destroying pool noodles).  She also swam when she fell out of the boat! Mike, Evan, Paige and Scout went for a boat ride and apparently she was too close to the edge and fell overboard. She didn't know what to do so started to swim back to shore, but they eventually pulled her back into the boat. 

We were able to leave her off leash for most of the time.  She would just stay with us, or wait by the door and sleep when we went inside.  It was too hot inside for her and usually she was really wet.

Lots of water lillies by the shore.

Paige and Robin made this "naturescape". There was a thunderstorm that came on quickly so the light is on in the photo.  In realy life it looked a lot better.  In this photo it looks like some sort of sketchy dinner.

Paige and what looks like Hawaiian Abby.
