Relaxing at the cottage

Last weekend we took our annual hiatus to the Curtis cottage with my family. My brother and his family were there, my sister and her family were there, along with the Curtis'. The kids had so much fun playing "run around like mad-men", bouncing on the water trampoline, and going for lots of motor boat rides. The grown-ups meanwhile had a great time relaxing and chillin' on the dock and deck.

One of the funniest conversations of the weekend was between Aidan and Quinn as we were pulling into the cottage on Friday night.

Quinn: "I want to sleep with the grown-ups because there are monsters here."
Aidan: "No, there aren't any monsters at the cottage Quinn. There are foxes and werewolves, but no monsters."

OMG - Chris and I were just dying in the front seat! Nothing is better than the wisdom of the older brother!!

Here are some pictures:
