We were so excited to get away this weekend up to visit Glenn’s sister at her cottage. We were also excited to introduce Elspeth to cottage fun. She was a bit nervous when we were driving in on Friday night but when we announced that we would be going back next weekend she broke into a big smile.
A large portion of the weekend was spent either inside or walking in the rain.
We
Then we broke out the Lincoln Logs. Of course, once the town was done we had to play in it. Saw all of those Little House books at work as an array of finger puppets went shopping in the general store and had to trade in their furs for goods or when the whole town came out for a pig roast. “Do you have the pig in your freezer in the store?” asks Puppet 1. “Of course not. It is in my barn. Just wait while I kill it and then we can cook it.” answers Puppet 2. Yep, think someone is going to kick butt in Social Studies this year at school.
Drizzle has become a down pour. Kids bored…time to head to town for some ice cream.
Look! The rain has stopped! Yippee! Off we go to the lake for a dip. Of course, along the way we met a little amphibian who had escaped notice on our earlier outing.
Went to bed hoping that this morning would be a better sunnier day. No luck. Rain. Okay, lazy around. As you can see, the girls broke out the popcorn and older sister decided to teach younger how to make an innovative sort of table.
Okay, rain ends. Skies grey. Time to fish. Katrine still needs to learn to put a worm on her own hook but she knows what to do otherwise. In fact, she caught the only fish. Elspeth loves her fishing pole, She loves to put it in the water and take it out. She loves reeling it in. She seems to think that the faster you reel the better it is – almost like it is a race. No surprise, there were no fast swimming fish in the lake this morning. Perhaps they will spruce up their fins for next weekend (although to get her worms they will need to upgrade to the Nascar of fins). Alot of fun though. Fingers crossed that it will be nice and clear next weekend.
