Cottage Week 2020

I was so excited when Emily suggested a cottage week together. I was also super excited when she had a connection to a cottage that was pretty cheap on a beautiful lake with a little sandy beach near Huntsville. We were all super excited for cottage week!

Monday August 10 - the arrival

The very unique looking cottage.

Tuesday August 11 - water fun, sand fun

Wednesday August 12 - kites, Boston Pizza, bonfire

Thursday August 13 - water craft, Kawartha Dairy, Zoom meeting - Marvin Perkin

Sonia's Anti-Racism Group - The guest speaker Marvin Perkins was amazing. He spoke about the Book of Mormon, about race, about Blacks and the Priesthood. It was so good.

A tear.

Friday August 14 - Muskoka Pioneer Village, GF Poutine

Saturday August 15 - Goodbye

**Today is Thursday, July 31, 2025. I can't remember when I actually discovered that I'd never posted about our first cottage week ever. Looking back at these pics the kids look so little. But it's thinking about that this all happened in the thick of the Covid19 pandemic. This cottage week - even with the weird cottage and mouse poop in a few too many places, this week was an escape from the chaos in the world around us. I'm so grateful for the genesis of this tradition and all that has come from it. 

Oh and I just remembered about a few more pictures that I'd taken. Not sure which day was what, but highly possible that these are all from the Friday.
