Entry FeedDid you miss me? Did you notice that we were away? For the past three days, we have been at a friend's cottage. It was wonderful.
We don't own a cottage. I am starting to think that we need to make it a condition of friendship with our children - either you have a pool or own a cottage. Both would be great. (Just kidding!)
There is a boy in Son One's class who also plays hockey with him. He has WONDERFUL parents, who invited us up to their cottage for the night. I sort of extended it to two.
Their cottage is beautiful. A cabin the woods, but large and comfortable. Plus, they have a dog - really, what could be better?
The boys took a ski lesson yesterday. Today we all went skiing. Daughter just walked around in her ski boots looking like an adorable ski bunny. She didn't ski. The boys did great! I couldn't believe how quickly they both picked it up. We just did two half days.
We haven't really been invited to a cottage before. There are five of us, so I am sure it was a lot for our hosts. Also, having two families together can be tough, because you all sort of need to get along. I thought we may overwhelm they as they just have one child, but luckily, things really worked out. We had great BBQs, played charades, watched movies, walked along some trails. And there was the skiing.
Daughter wants to go back next weekend. I explained that we have to actually be invited.
