Up North-The Noorman Family-Part 3

For the last part of the week-James came back up to the cottage and we were joined by our friends Mike and Carmen and their 3 girls.

The weekend started with Tim and Brian putting in the sailboats. It was just the right breeze for sailing!

 The Noorman's have arrived!

 Making dinner-sandwich pizza pockets! Such a fun and yummy dinner!

 Ellie, Mikayla and Abby waiting for their dinners!

 Emma and Mikayla-with dinner!

 Dessert-S'Mores!

Mike and Abby-Abby fell asleep-I think we wore her out!

 Mikayla sleeping in a tent for the 1st time. James was the brave one to sleep in the tent with her. It is not that we don't like camping-we love it, but with Mikayla's medical needs and feeding pump for extra fluids at night we have braved sleeping in a tent. But this time we did. Mikayla did great. However I think we had a lot of comforts-not sure we would survive a few days, but she had fun doing it one night at the cottage!

Shadow puppets on the wall before bed!

 Surrounded by all her sleeping pals! Ready for bed!

 The tent!

 Awake in the morning! She made it all night!

 Playing in the water-the canoe!

 Mikayla, James, Emma and Mike-off for a canoe ride! The girls had a great time-swimming down the river and canoeing. The came back with Grandma and Grandpa in the row/motor boat-so they didn't have to ride all the way down the Grass River with the guys in the canoe!

 Abby-eating S'mores with chocolate!

 Ellie!

 Mikayla, being a fish! So proud of her for swimming around with no life jacket!

 Carmen and I relaxing on the floats-reading!

 Abby playing in the sand and water!

We had a great time at the cottage and couldn't of asked for better weather! Sunny and 70's and 80's everyday! Thanks Mom and Brian for having us-we know it isn't the quiet cottage that you like it to be when we are all there, but we appreciate you greatly for having us!
