At the cabin

I just realized we didn't post any pictures from the cabin, or Bobcageon. We didn't have Internet at the lake, and then the whirlwind started, so here is a "back blog" from the first days of our summer holiday.....

Me and my Aunty

Uncle Ray working hard, getting ready for the bonfire.

Peeking at the boat thru the dock rails. Their cabin is in a little spot where the shore dips in, so they have a nice calm area of lake all to themselves.

Maddie enjoying the water...

This is the big boat, the motor boat sailed it's last voyage a couple of weeks before we arrived, now the ride to the cabin is nice and slow. On the upside... you don't have to worry so much about condensing suitcases!

Maddie's goal is to get everyone in the water every year, here she is racing Uncle Ray into the lake.

a test round of pass the ace.... Maddie won this one, but that's where her streak ended.

the main room of the cabin, and the magic couches, you lay down on them, and before you know it, you are "OUT".

last view of the cabin as we pull away in the boat.... til next time.

In Bobcageon we went shopping on Canal Street. Maddie found some interestingly fun shoes!

Canal Street, where the rich and famous play... this bathing suit was too pricey for our pocketbook!

at the spot where the channel lets in a few boats, lowers the water, opens the gate, and let's the boats come play in Bobcageon. Very kewl, the whole process takes about 5 minutes.

we went to the beach to try out the worlds best french fries..... while we waited for them to cook, I tested the water, ahhh, very nice :-)

one of my favorite smells in the summer, a chip wagon with vinegar! Not something the Americans would know anything about!

a quick swing in the park, and back to the house.

Bev and Don came over for a visit, and a game of pass the ace.

this is what my Aunt and Uncles house looked like last time we visited......

and this is it today. Beautiful!!!!

we had to get up at 4:30am to get organized and be at the airport for 7am. My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin Gord came for the ride, really nice of them to do that considering the hour we left, but they saw us off to the point where the highway meets the main road to the airport, and we said out tearful byes... Gord's cat Peanut wanted to come, but we thot we'd better not take her....haha.

From here we dropped off the rental car, and proceeded in to Pearson, where I slapped the Plain White T's, and the rest you are caught up on :-)
