AUTUMN AT THE COTTAGE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!




With the river we never know what to expect...it can go from 1 1/2 foot white caps to still as glass in a matter of hours!


Very windy day at the cottage!



Nanny and Ava




Papa and Ava





The bubble machine works great on a windy day!

It's much less work if you just sit in the toy box!

"Jessie you are blocking my good side!"


Not too sure about the leaves.



Another beautiful sunset at the cottage

IT'S A DUCK ....AND IT'S PINK!!!!!

We received this card and pink breast cancer awareness rubber ducky in the mail today from Connie at "Somewhere in China..."
Ava immediatley took it to the bathroom and threw it into the tub....which she does with all her bath toys every time I leave the bathroom door open and she gets in there before me!
It will look great floating in our "Pink Retro Tub"!
Thank you so much for thinking of us Connie.
