Post will be very heavy on pictures, so I'll go light on words. Our cottage experience was AWESOME. It was the kids first time in fresh water (a lake), first time tubing...first time at a cottage, in fact:-) My Aunt Collette and Uncle Mike (My mom's sister), have this nifty cottage in Bobcaygeon, Ontario. So we spent a day with my mom's siblings, and their descendants. Sooo fun!

 |
| Decks and docks. The perfect outdoor space |
 |
| My mom's younger brother, my Uncle Trevor |
 |
| My Grandpa Shantz (my moms' father) |
 |
| Me, talking to my Aunt Caralyn (married to my Uncle)...looks like my cousin Teegan is eavesdropping? :-) |
 |
| Uncle Trevor teaching Brooks how to fish |
 |
| Brooks caught 4 fish. Bass, and sunfish |
 |
| Another one Brooks caught |
 |
| Trevor was like the Pied Piper...all the kids had to come and see all the fish! |

 |
| Jackson, Brooks & Holden - all cousin-ish. Holden is my first cousin, and Jackson is my cousin's son (so Brooks' 2nd cousin) |

 |
| Brooks was very brave to try tubing! When he saw Kenna take off, he yelled from the safety of the deck "I'm gonna sit here an watch you die!" I guess he decided it wasn't all that hazardous! |
 |
| My niece, Kayla Grace |
 |
| Toes in the water. |
 |
| Thumbs up, after an awesome tube ride! |
 |
| Boating around Pigeon Lake, good bye all! |

| Selfie on a boat |
 |
| It was gorgeous! I love feeling the water as the boat speeds along |
 |
| The kids found some shells. Kenna assured the kids that they could hear the ocean in these shell. That would be quite magical, indeed:-) |
 |
| My cousin's son, Jackson |
 |
| Brooks and Holden. Trouble. |
 |
| A loon, flying over the water |
 |
| The cottage. A fun time for one and all! Grateful to my Aunt and Uncle for hosting us all! |
