A Trip To The Reid Cottage
Hi Everybody,
It's not very often that we get a chance to blog now. Mary is very active and by the time we have time at night to enter something we are bagged and wanting sleeeeep.
Now that that is out of the way let me say on behalf of Kate, Mary an myself, thank you to Mum and Dad and especially Uncle Harry (my step mum May's brother)for a great week of family fun at the Reid cottage. We were originally scheduled to go to Kashaga Lodge (a total bust so don't book there- dirty, dirty, dirty- until they clean it up and make it livable) but couldn't (ha ha) so Uncle Harry bailed us out and offered up his families cottage for our use (and in a calculator's case) abuse. 
So the week started out for us on Monday and we got home today. It would have started earlier but Katie had a job interview on Monday so we left right after that. The Reid cottage is halfway between Haliburton and Minden and is a beautiful place to be. I was very fortunate to have access to a fishing boat (keep laughing Dad) although it was of no use to me as twice I had a lake trout to the boat and lost it. We had great fun eating, drinking, playing, drinking, having campfires, swimming, fishing and and bruising our thighs.
Anyway, it was a great week and Mary, Katie and I can't wait for next year.
The only thing that made us all sad was that Uncle Marc wasn't there. We had too many early bedtimes and if Marc was there who knows what would have happened.

Thanks again everyone for making the week great.

Uncle Harry you saved the day and it was a total blast. Thank you.
Mum and Dad, Thank you for cooking up this idea and making it happen for us. You're wonderful and you made a great vacation happen for us.

Mary's Auntie Erin and cousins Charli and Autum were there and Mary had so much fun with them. Autum posed, Chuck fished with me and Erin enjoyed a nice relaxing vacation.
