The Labour Day weekend marks the end of summer for most. At least for us it is usually the last time that we make it to the cottage for the year.
Unfortunately the last weekend at the cottage did not bring good weather this year. It was quit chilly for still being summer, and it held a little rain which prevented us from having our camp fires.
Because I had just got out of the hospital on the Friday, Curt and Jaxon headed to the cottage with Sid and Lois on the Friday night, and left me at home to rest and get a good nights sleep all by myself. I woke up in the morning freezing because of the temperature change and was in no rush to get up to the cottage in the rain. Hurricane Earle had been hitting the East cost the same weekend, and I think that our weather was from some of that. I have never seen the lake like it was that weekend.
I finally make it up on Saturday afternoon, and the Johnston's came up Saturday as well for the last weekend of the summer. We were to take the kids to Story Book Park this week and it had been planned all summer but when I got sick we decided that we would let it go for this year and plan a weekend next year for sure to take the kids.
We did manage to get our last ice cream at the Trading Post on the Sunday night though, and the sun even decided to join us.We had a few coupons from the amusement park left as well, so the guys got to take the kids down the slide once to use them up.
