Cottage Country

We took a drive this lovely September day to visit our daughter and son-in-law, who have recently purchased a cottage in Cottage Country. The lake was perfectly still, and there were very few people around. It was a great way to relax!

We took a walk and found lots of lily pads like this - beautiful patterns and shades of green.

Our son-in-law was brave enough to go for a dip, sans wetsuit, in a lake which is cool at the best of times. The rest of us just watched.

While we were sitting around the campfire, we had visitors. Actually, we found evidence that we had bear visitors too, but we didn't catch sight of them. This family was very tame.

Midway through our walk to the cottage belonging to my brother and sister-in-law, the mom-to-be needed to stop for a rest. We gladly joined her on top of the boathouse.

Our son-in-law has built a great firepit, using rock from the lake. We spent most of the day sitting around it and chatting.

The new barbeque. It should be good for a few burgers!
