Cottage time

Two weekends ago was fishing season opener . That meant there was a push in our family to go to the cottage and get some fishing in. As it turned out, our whole family had tome to come out and so it turned into a family weekend. Gone are the days when we had one bedroom for our family, when Mom and Dad slept in the bed and the kids all had their spots on the floor. Now our family takes up all the five bedrooms and it is busy and noisy and fun. There are always some early birds in the morning and these three got to have breakfast together while the others slept. Jayda was quite happy with her bun and strawberry jam while Kerry and Erik enjoyed a favorite cottage breakfast of crackles.

Of course there was some fishing happening too, but there were not too many fish caught. This morning the lake was like glass, but the temps were still quite cool.

Kristy and Kerry coming in from their stint at the river, trying to catch some walleye.

And a new generation of fishermen! or person! Hailey was quite happy to try her hand at fishing off the dock, and she was getting pretty good at casting and reeling in, but alas, no bites. We also spent time filling the hot tub, and trying to get the water system going, but there was still too much frost and the lines under the cottage were frozen, and so we had no running water. The weather was on the cool side on Saturday but Sunday turned out to be a really pleasant day.
