Friends Cottage Trip












Every year we go up to the cottage with our long time friends. Since Cadence was born in July it didn't look like we'd make it up this year, however we decided to do a fall trip (9/7-9/9). The weather was actually really nice. The nights weren't overly cold and we got out on the pontoon boat.

We did get a special order life vest for Cadence from Canada so she took her first pontoon ride. She liked the boat it put her right to sleep!

We did have some hardships on this trip. Sleep was a hard to get commodity. Cadence slept fine at night but we were not use to having that noisy little girl in the room with us so Michael and I both kept waking up! And little Brendan gets up very early so once he's up Cadence wanted to get up too. All of this would of been fine but Jodie, Greg, Michael and I still wanted to enjoy the campfire and a few drinks so our bedtimes were way later then they should of been!

Nick and Jackie made it up and got to do some wake boarding. They came up one time before but their call schedule was always off :( It was nice to hang out at the cottage, although at home we see them most weekends anyway.

We always have a new toy at the cottage. This year it was hillbilly golf. It looks kinda weird but is actually really fun. The pesky bugs kept me from playing but I fully intend to play allot next time up. Cadence is very mommy-centric at the moment.

This was the first year with kids, Greg and Jodie didn't make it last year. Overall it was great and not that much different than the year before. We've all grown up, the days of Rob puking pink cotton candy on the sand are past. OK so we all have our stories at the cottage but that one has to be the most famous one!
