This past weekend marked the second last LONG weekend of the summer. We spent the our time at the cottage with Curt's family. 
Every other year Curt's grandma's family have a big family reunion, and this was the year for it. Marg's sister Jean and her family rent the cottage next to us, and her cousin Pat rent's one down the road. We go to Pat's cottage for the reunion because it has a huge back yard with horseshoes, a big play set for the kids, and is nice and close to the beach.All week long they were calling for great weather for the long weekend. By the time that I left work on Friday night the forecast had changed and was calling for some rain for the weekend. Up in Sauble we were lucky and did not get too much rain, but mr. sun decided that he would only show his face around dinner time on Sunday night. I was planning on spending some time down on the beach brushing up on my tan, but that did not happen. We even had to pull out sweaters the odd time through the weekend.Saturday was the day of the reunion, so we spend the morning getting food ready for the pot luck dinner, and then headed down after Jaxon woke up from his nap.
It was a little chilly that day, too chilly to take the boys down to the beach so they made some fun of their own. There was a great play centre for them to swing and slide on and they had taken some sand toys, so they played in the horseshoe pits in the sand.
The new thing that they liked to do with each other is wrestle. They would chase each other around, and then Jaxon would stop and drop to the ground and Reed would jump on top of him and they would roll around on the ground. Jaxon love it! Reed only enjoyed it if he was on top. If Jaxon got to the top, game over. Reed was ready to call it quits. It was too funny to watch. Curt always wrestles with Jaxon on the floor, and thank god he has shown him that it is only friendly play, because we had no one get hurt out of it.
By the time we got the boys back to the cottage they were filthy. It was bath time!!! and by the time it was said and done, I think Trisha and I had more of bath with the amount of water they splashed on us. Oh well, I love to get Jaxon together with Reed, and they love to play together too.
Sunday was a day of rest and relaxation. We had a big breakfast, and then took the boys down to the beach. Curt's dad loved to have both his grandson's down there. They had a ball. 
By late Sunday afternoon the sun finally peeked through they clouds!!! They boys made some fun of their own in the front yard with their wagon, the boat, and all their sand toys. I love to just sit and watch the two of them play together. It is amazing what they come up with, and I love to watch the looks on their little faces when they are trying to scheme up next. I can just tell that in a few years we will have our hands full when these two little boys get together.

It was raining, so we decided that we could get some things done at home, rather then just spend the day in side the cottage.
I can not believe that we are already into the first week of August....where did the summer go?
