Ahhh, The Cottage Life!

We just got home from a week at the cottage and I have to say that all 4 kids loved our time away. The boys swam in the lake every day, and even learned how to do backflips off of a raft into the water. Yikes! The twins loved listening to the water lap against the shore and would smile and relax every time we went outside. All in all, it was a great week!

We started our week with the August long weekend - which is always celebrated by a huge party at the cottage with the whole family. This weekend's theme was Hawaiian Luau. The kids had a scavenger hunt all over the land and it ended with a pinata (which they all loved).

Here they are digging for a clue:


And finishing their hunt:


At the end of the day, the bigger kids got to have sparklers:



And later in the week, the boys had a blast swimming at Aunt Mary's cottage:




We can't wait until we head back to the cottage again! :o)
