It's not the cottage without a few trips out on the lake, and this week will be full of opportunities to do so. Grandpa is proud to show us all his new boat and everyone's old pal Jaws is still around too, not to mention the non-motorized options that are also available. Both Isabelle and Oliver love to be out on the water, perhaps for different reasons. We think Oliver remembers back to our Florida pontoon boat escapades, because he much prefers slowly cruising along, always trying to find crocodiles (sorry, not likely in the Maritimes, dude!). Isabelle, on the other hand, is a fan of high speed, whether she is parked on the bow or sitting in a tube being pulled behind. She kept saying "hit it" as we were all chatting in the back of the boat. The weather has been fabulous, even with Hurricane Irene on her way, so we have had lots of chances to check out the lake up close and personal. It's a special place to spend time together as a family and to be able to hang out and snack in the boat as we catch up makes it even more enjoyable. The cottage is amazing and there is so much to do around here, enough to keep 3 kids and 5 adults occupied morning, noon and night! We couldn't ask for a better start to the vacation!

Isabelle was not shy about heading out tubing!
Thumbs up means go faster. Isabelle had her thumb up the entire time.
