On the Saturday we packed up and headed over to BJ and Ashley's cottage which is about a 45min. drive from ours. They are up by Lion's Head. This was the worst day of the weekend weather wise. It had rained in the morning, and looked like it was going to clear, but it was still calling for rain. BJ and Ash were having a bunch of people up for the weekend, but we decided that since we were so close we would just head over for the day. We had a nice day over there, and caped it off with a wonderful display of fireworks...courtesy of Kirby!!! Jaxon's friend Jace was up there for the day too, so he was able to play with him, and not have to be the only kid there.
Sunday was our day to hang around the cottage, and Jaxon had some of his friends up for the night. Ray & Holly, Ryan, Nicole & Jazlin & Rob & Hadleigh all came up and they were able to try out the new bunk house that they spent last May 24th building.They guys went golfing in the morning, so we decided to take a walk down to the beach to see what it was like. It was amazing. There were times that we were up there last year (in the middle of the summer) and were not able to sit down at the beach because it was so cold. This weekend the water was as calm as I have ever seen it, and the it very warm. It would have been a perfect day to pack up and sit down by the water all day.
But since we had some kiddies that were getting hungry and tired we only stayed for a short time, long enough for them to throw a few rocks in the water and we headed back up to the cottage to wait for their dads to return from golf and have lunch. 
After lunch the kids went down for a nap, and we sat outside all afternoon and enjoyed the beautiful weather. When they woke up we packed up the sand toys and all headed back down to the beach to play. Miss Hadleigh did not want to go in the water:
and Miss Jazlin did not want to get out of the water:
and Mr. Jaxon...well he started out with all of his cloths on, just playing at the waters edge, and by the time we had to leave he did not have a stitch of clothing left on him because he had got it soaked. He did not even have his diaper left on because he had got it so water logged, it probably weighed 25lbs. on it own. I guess it is all right that he does this at this age...but come a few years and this will be a big NONO!!!
After we got them all rounded up, and had a few tears because we had leave we went back to the cottage and enjoyed the rest of the day/night outside in the great weather.
We had an amazing beef supper that Curt's dad did in is smoker. After we all ate and got cleaned up the little ones were getting ready for bed so we gave them a bath, and let them sit out by the fire for a little. They were not long until their eyes got heavy, and headed to bed. It was not long after they went to bed that some of us were joining them. 
My how our long weekends have changed...it was only 10 years ago that if it was 10:30...or evening was just getting started. This May 24th...our day was ending at 10:30!!!
Monday morning we got up and had a big breakfast, cleaned the cottage a little and headed home. It was another gorgeous day at the beach, but it was our day to get some stuff done around the house, so we did just that.
