Vacation, all we ever wanted...

Ahhhhh.....as evidenced in the photo, Isabelle enjoyed kicking back and relaxing on our recent vacation in Quebec. Back in early September, we rented a cottage on a small lake in the Laurentians, about 15 minutes south of Mont Trembant, and had a fabulous time getting away from the bustle of the city. Cottage life agreed with all of us, but especially the little mermaid herself, who spent countless hours wading in and out of the shallow lake with her shovel and pail at the ready. She got her first taste of roasted marshmallows, and loved cozying up by the roaring fire. With Renee and Shawn joining us, Isabelle also had Logan as a playmate to tear around the cottage and play countless games of hide and seek with Gilles. We had a great time on day trips to St. Sauveur and especially adored the village at Tremblant, where we rocked the luge go-carts down the mountain and shopped til we dropped.   All in all, a great week away blessed with some of the best weather of the summer. Only one rainy day but luckily we discovered a kid's indoor playground that featured face-painting! Who could ask for more, except for maybe a few more weeks of holidays each year?
