Weekend at the Cottage

We spent the weekend at my husband's parents' cottage. The children couldn't WAIT to get in the river on Saturday, but it was so cold (water was about 60 degrees and there was a cold wind blowing) that they all lasted about 10 minutes and then had to find creative ways to get warm. I liked Little Man's solution best. :-)





Later in the afternoon we had a couple downpours, which led to this gorgeous and complete rainbow that evening. Isn't it beautiful?!


My father in law, doing what he loves best.


In the little town where the cottage is, there is this small variety store that I just love. There is a whole row of penny candy, videos to rent, lattes and ice cream cones to buy, fish bait and tackle, and a small Sears catalog ordering center in the corner. A true small town general store!


Don't you just love the fine print??? (the green ones too!)


Happy organized chaos at dinner time.



Happy and precious little 4 year old second cousins.


Thankfully Sunday was a much warmer day and the children had a blast on this water trampoline, as well as swimming and boating. Mama pretty much watched them like a hawk all afternoon. :-/

(but had fun doing it)
