Cottage Life

For the past couple of nights we went to the Lee's family cottage with Matt, Kristi and the kids. The cottage is about 3.5 hours away in a small town called Dorset in the Muskoka's (north, past Barrie). The cottage is owned by Matt's grandparents and is situated right on the lake. The weather could have been better but we were still able to enjoy several boat trips. Even Sarah got to come along for her first boat ride. She loved the boat and the feeling of the wind in her hair. You could tell that she wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first, but got the idea pretty quick.



On Saturday I even found this little pink life jacket/ swimming floatation at one of the two garage sales in Thorold. For just a dollar I was thrilled. Amazingly, Sarah didn't even mind it.

The kids love the boat, as does Matt. They were able to get away for several little boat trips. David and Matt even went fishing for a couple of hours last night. There is Bass and Trout in the lake. They each caught 4-5 fish within an hour, however, there were all pretty small so they threw them all back.

Sarah loved playing with all of Kaleb's cars, trucks and trains. It looks like it's time to get her some little toys with wheels.

On Monday afternoon we went to the general store and then to some small waterfalls.

The kids tried to skip rocks like Matt and David.

Our family

The Lee family. Thank you for a wonderful mini holiday! We had a great time.

*Here in Ontario (the east in general), people refer to vacation homes as cottages. This is different than out west where we refer to them as cabins.

Another little difference of east vs west.
