Grandkids 2025 - stage 2

With the car loaded to the max we arrived at the cottage late morning. The rest of this post is just photos of "cottage life". Meals were kept simple, Cigi still napped, kids had baths or showers every evening (so as to remove as much sand as possible) and there was a nice balance between activities and relaxation.

Maya sketching (she was practicing drawing faces) and Avery sunbathing.

 

A hammock was the preferred place for reading a library book

or just lounging

or "supervising" the early morning swim. One of the joys of the cottage is the early morning when we have the beach to ourselves.

We had still days and wavy days and everything in between.

Supervision from the cottage,

a shade tent or

a chair by the water. Walking the sandbar was a good activity for my sore knee but I also walked the cottage road a couple of times and checked in with friends who still have cottages there.

Ruby, 

Sammy and

Fiona (she ran, then swam) visited.

In the evening,

some

ball

fetching.

Outside the cottage now has a metal roof and

a "tiki bar" (dubbed the spider haven by Chris) 

but otherwise looks much the same.

Inside still feels light and airy and the colour scheme is the same. 

Rather them "Mediterranean" its now more

"Beachy Boho"

Cottage still life.

Wednesday I returned to Port Dover to sail and stayed over. Rasta demanded multiple tummy rubs to make up for his alone time.

I returned, through rain, to a windy day

and more visitors (Kristin, Noah, Leo and Terri) there to take advantage of

the wave

jumping

opportunities.
