Cottage Weekend

Well, I've been back in Saint John for just over a week. It feels great to be home, and it has been awesome getting to see the family again. I thought that when my mother picked me up at the airport that she was going to drive me straight to the hairdressers to get the fro chopped off, but I think that she actually likes it. Even Dad didn't seem to mind it too much! Ha.

As what was hoping, I got to go to the cottage right away. My sis Tara and I went up and babysat the kids for the night.....Kate, Kye, and The Jack. I have attached a couple of pics. The first pose is the one where I try to look like I'm talented at water skiing. The next is the courtesy wave pose.








You'll also get to see a picture of The Jack sitting on my knee helping me open up my new survival package from my sis. Yes, this pack was stocked full of important things to help me integrate back into the 'real world'; soap, deoderant, comb, toothbrush (needed one badly), etc. It also contained some other things to help with my new budget for the next while; Mr. Noodles, a bell for my bicylcle (as a car isn't anywhere in the near future). I think that she will be quite surprised at the amount of use that I will get out of it.

Twas a great weekend at the cottage. My brother Greg and Karenanne made it up, as well as Thor. Decided to have a few drinks out by the fire that evening as well. Greg almost fell into the fire because he was so drunk, and Thor missed it all because he was puking in the woods. Thank God that I am the resoponsible one.

Twas awesome hanging out with the kiddies again. Got to watch them run through the sprinkler, build forts on the deck, and then hit the tube on the back of the boat. All in all, it was pretty much exactly what I was looking for!
