Meaford Memories

This summer has gone way too fast.  It seems like we didn't spend nearly enough time at the cottage.  But when we were there we had good weather and fun with friends.  Here are a few snaps from the summer...

Maya, Chloe and Ella petitioning to keep the old book nook!

A Summer of Music

The theme this spring and summer was music!  We were entertained by Aidan playing trumpet in the stage and concert bands in May.  Then this summer, Maya started singing at Open Mic at the Barn.  And Aidan started playing the guitar. So fun to hear Maya sing to a very friendly crowd and I love Aidan plucking away at his guitar at the cottage.  We also attended a very unique concert at a dairy farm near the cottage .


 All dressed up and ready to play!

 Maya decides to sign up for Open Mic at the Barn near our cottage

She bravely sang to a very supportive crowd including her friends Ella and Chloe

 Aidan started playing the guitar this summer.



We all went to Symphony in the Barn, about 1 hour from our cottage

We heard some fabulous musicians in a barn setting.  So unique!
