COTTAGE LIFE!

Dragging the magnet around the cottage to pick up loose nails after we reshingled the roof.

Cleaning the beach sand off her feet before heading into the cottage

Enjoying her first popsicle!

I could get used to these!

Checking out the water

Looking a little tense(clenched fists)!

Checking the water with Iris, our neighbours dog

Clearing our beach of rocks!

Signing to Iris that she has to share the rocks!

Cheese!

Serving up the drinks from her "Tiki" bar!

All tuckered out!

This cottage life is exhausting!

Need more sleep!

Popcorn and drinks on the deck with Nana and Papa everynight before dinner!

Nana and Papa sure know how to live!

CANADA DAY FUN!!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

My Proud Canadian!

Checking out the Fire Engine before the parade starts.

Enjoying the bouncing castle.

Ava getting her face painted....she's not too sure about this!

Hear me "Roar"!

Watching the Parade

My Aunt Janet, one of the fiddlers

Giving her cousin Alison a hug.

Clapping along to the fiddle music with Nana.

Checking out the parade.

Giving her cousin Mathieu a hug

"Kissing Cousins!"

Attempting to get cousins: Patrick, Ava, Mathieu and Alison to all sit still for a picture...this was the best one!

A couple of blogger friends, Kim and Channing and Tracey, Maia and Ran and Tracey's sister Shari were heading to Ottawa for their agency's annual picnic...so Ava and I decided since we were at the cottage and it was only 1.5hrs away we'd head into Ottawa and spend the Saturday of Canada Day weekend with them. We had met Tracey, Maia and Ran once before at one of the Waiting Mom's Dinners but had never met Kim and Channing other than through their blog.
Ava and I had a great time spending the day with you guys...hope we'll be able to do it again some time.
