We spent 5 days at the cottage for the Canada Day Long weekend.
The weather was really great, it was a bit cloudy and a bit of a breeze so it kept the temps down. Which also kept the bugs away, so all in all a perfect weekend for the cottage.
Scarlett finally mastered her two wheeler, by the end of the weekend she was going faster than I could. She did take one really good tumble and skinned her knees and elbows but other than that she did great.
All of us went to the boat launch , Kaleb made it the whole way on his bike, I was so impressed, I figured I would end up walking him back and trying to figure out how to carry his bike while pushing mine.
We tried to do the same ride again the next day but Kaleb had a breakdown, about half way back and cried the whole way.
Scarlett scared us to death on the Sunday, I was sitting on the dock with her reading a book, when Ryan asked her to go swimming. I told her yes and off she jumped into the river, she swam out about 15 ft then turned around and started to swim back. I looked at her and thought something was wrong but couldn't figure it out, then it dawned on me that she didn't have her life jacket on. I just about fainted on the spot, I didn't know what to do. I jumped in the water just in case, but she did make it to shore.
I am more freaked out now than before, when she jumped in what if she hadn't come up, we never would have found her. We had a discussion about water safety and I doubt she will do it again, she scared herself because she new she was having trouble.
We were so pleased with the way these pictures turned our of the kids.
