One of our favorite things to do in the summer is sit around the camp fire at the cottage down by the river. It's been even more memorable the past couple of years as my niece, Natasha has picked up playing the guitar. She had a few good songs to play and sing for the group on a couple of the nights we were there.
The past 3 years during our summer trip to Canada we have take a short trip with our good friend Kevin (Chevy) and Ann. This year we headed to the 1000 Islands area that is on the boarder of Canada and the US along the St. Lawrence River. We played two rounds of golf at Smuggler's Glen Golf Course and stayed the night at the Glen House Resort.
Danny's starts us off by making it over the gorge!
They had these adorondak chairs all through out the corse sitting behind the tee at each hole. Ann took some time to watch the boys swing.
Old buddies.... aren't these two just adorable. This course had some great views.
We had a visit from Pepe Le Pew's son too. Luckily he didn't have his stinker yet or Danny would have certainly gotten sprayed after all the chasing he did to get the "perfect shot".
We headed to Kington, Ontario for dinner at the Keg that night. The area had lots of little bars and resturants but nothing right on the water. We couldn't make our mind up on where to go for dinner.... so figured the Keg was a safe bet.
Here is a view out our patio door to our room. That's the St. Lawrence river straight ahead. You can see one little island out there.... with a house on it!
Our second round of golf on Wednesday morning.... it was a bit chilly out.
I was 20 feet below this eagle and he didn't move a muscle.... just watched me the entire time.
My dad and Cheryl (Pa and Lolli) drove up from Paris in there camper. They stopped in a few different towns overnight to enjoy the sites each city had. We timed things just right with our trip down to the 1000 Islands as they crossed the boarder about an hour after we finished our round of golf with Chevy and Ann. We head back up to Quyon with Lolli and Pa and were so happy to have them in Canada with us.
Thursday morning Pa and Colby had a good chat on the deck at the cottage. Colby used the plastic toy to bang against everything he saw.
Izzy and Tash painted rocks out on the beach for decoration.
A quick shot of Lolli and Pa's camper down by the cottage. The yellow cones cracked me up!
Tash, Izzy, Lolli and I went to the Strawberry farm to pick strawberries. I have wanted to do it every summer while we are there... but it's never worked out. I can finally check it off my bucket list.
