Cottage Life

CheriGENERAL

I’m reliving life with kids again!
The Cottage is alive with constant chatter, motion, hungry children, and sweet laughter.

Last Monday we picked up our 7 year old niece Jersti, and her 5 year old brother, Kale on our way through Chicago and brought them back to MN with us.

 We  had them all to ourselves to spoil er, um…enjoy



until Thursday evening 
when their momma, poppa and big sister and brother arrived at The Cottage

They came with their boat too.

so we took them to Lake Pepin in Lake City
the birthplace of water skiing

and we loved on them there too 

and enjoyed watching the water ski show they provided

and savored moments with little ones that 
we know grow up WAY too fast

 

while we were out on the lake we happened to see friends we have known for over 25 years….back to pre-children days!  


they didn’t see us 
 — so I creeped on them with the telephoto
hoping to surprise them later by sending these photos

Turns out they had just pulled out their boat before us
so I warned them of my creeping
which was minimal


We have the kids and their parents here all this week too — they are vacationing at The Cottage! 
The motion is non-stop — and I don’t mind a dadgum bit!
