A rocky start to the 25th anniversary summer.

June 21, first day of summer, first visitors to the cottage (our Kevin and Jesse), I would have liked to report that we sat on the beach, swam, BBQ'd, ate outside and enjoyed the sun. Sadly mother nature did not cooperate, and due to the almost non stop rain, the weekend turned into  an indoor "Modern Family" marathon (think we have hooked them on the show) and some rousing games of Trouble. The rains did hold off in the evenings though and we were able to have 2 nice campfires, though it took herculean efforts to get the fire going after 24 of rain.. but therefore the campfire hotdogs tasted all that much better.  Everyone agrees though that the highlight of the weekend was Riley's imitation of a dead fish.  Yes, he found "something" rotting in the woods whose aroma must have been so intoxicating that he could not resist mashing his face, neck and body into it.  All I can say is thank God the dogs rode home in the truck with Mike and not in the car with Kevin, Jesse and I.  Here's hoping the weather (and Riley's odour) is better for next weekend's annual Canada Day Cassin visit!

No pic of camera shy guests, but Kevin did take this nice shot of the rainy lake
