summer collection: cottage life in rosseau, ontario

While Toronto flooded last week...

Jeff and I and another couple rented a cottage in Rosseau, Ontario. 
It was a beautiful location and we had perfect weather.
Since the lake we were on was somewhat small, the water was quite warm, which bodes well for me since my body doesn't regulate temperature well! 

These are just a few shots I grabbed.









Although our summer in Canada is not very long {and I have no desire to own a cottage whatsoever because of this!}, it was very relaxing and not too far from Toronto.

A few others were even able to join us for an awesome day of cottage Summer Olympics that were planned.
It's so easy to be lazy - sit on the dock and read or chatter - but we made ourselves get up and run around for a little friendly competition.
We had two teams of four, with a balanced male/female ratio, couples on opposite teams.
Events included washer toss, frisbee golf {which would be a great PE game!}, a small euchre tourney, traditional old egg toss, timed canoe races, flip cup, Family Feud and a final relay race that was soooo close!

I'd say the perfect way to spend a week with friends before we fly out to Manila!
