New Years at the Cottage

Sunday - Tuesday we spent with friends at a cottage on Dyer Lake north of McBain. Usually we spend a weekend camping together during the summer but with Scott & Lia living in Africa we weren't able to do that this summer. So we decided on some winter fun while they were here for the holidays!

The whole gang!

The kids snuggled in to watch a movie - Everyone's Hero.

We spent lots of time outside and the kids (& the dads!) loved being on the 4-wheelers!

My boys doing donuts on the lake.

Justin learned how to drive a 4-wheeler all by himself this weekend!

Here he is taking me on my first ride with him driving - needless to say I did make a little noise when he was doing donuts on the ice...

The boys went squirrel hunting and shot 7 squirrels. Here they are on their way back from one of their successful hunts.

Ice fishing - the kids loved watching the minnows swim around in the bucket! We didn't catch any fish (it could have been all the 4-wheelers flying around one the ice...) the boys did run out numerous time to check on false flags!

Lia & I played Scrabble - it started out as an innocent something to do for the afternoon and turned into Lia trying hard to win - I won 3 times - the last time only by 2 points! Sorry Lia - we'll play again soon!

The cottage - it was great just to be together again! The weekend was a lot of fun and also a lot of relaxation - which we all needed after the busy holidays! Thanks Michelle for inviting us to your families cottage!
