Weekend: cottage

This weekend we went up to the cottage and had an excellent time, marred only by the fact that Ben was unable to join us.

Joshua and I did some swinging  while others were on the paddleboat.

(Everyone has big smiles, although you may need to click to enlarge.)

Joshua got another ride on the swing.  He was happy to be with anyone except Dad.  (And even then, Dad got to hold Joshua once.)  By the end of the weekend there were a few times he even preferred Pat to me, which was rather surprising.

The walking kids enjoyed searching for just the right acorns to throw into the water.

...although they didn't really need to search as hard as they did.

Isaac helped Dad with some sanding.

And we went for a ride around the lake.

Yay!
