This summer just went way too fast! We were lucky to have nice weather on the weekends, so we got up to our cottage as much as possible. This year was the year of boating. We bought a new canoe and also learned to sail an old sail boat that had come with the cottage. On top of that our friend Lisa gave us a wonderful floating mat, which was very nice when the water was cold.
We were able to have three sets of guests visit. Maya also saw her friend, Ella, quite a bit. They enjoyed doing crafts and walking to the Book Nook. Here are some photos from the summer...

Leaving the store with our new canoe
We enjoyed many nice boat rides up and down the bay
We got the old Sunfish sail boat out of the shed and it was actually seaworthy. Mike and Aidan took a free sailing lesson at the marina and took it out on the bay a few times when the water was warmer.
Here's Aidan with cousins Dexter and Justin, hanging out on the blue raft.

We went to Blue Mountain once this year to ride the Ridge Runner
And the mini jeeps
We also went to the Owen Sound Farmer's Market
It's the nicest farmer's market near us
On Labour Day weekend, we took a fishing charter called "U Catch 'Em"
Unfortunately we didn't!!! Aidan was very disappointed.
We enjoyed the boat ride anyway
