Lake Cottage Weekend

Logan, Marie, Greg, and I spent the weekend at a lake cottage in Sturbridge, about an hour west of Boston.
The weather was perfect, sunny then cloudy then sunny again, and a very nice temperature. On Saturday afternoon (after we'd swam and canoed), we got a terrific thunderstorm. We watched it for awhile, then took naps (a great thing to do during a storm).





Marie and Greg look for frogs

We went to Yankee Spirits, New England's largest liquor store, and found really interesting craft beers for our own beer tasting. (We didn't drink all of these that night; we took most of them home.)

The water was perfect too, not too cold.

On Saturday, Marie and Logan took out the canoe, then Greg and I did. Here we are about to take off. We canoed around the whole lake, looking at all of the houses. On Sunday, the four of us went out in kayaks together. The house had everything we needed. Greg found a fishing pole and he and Logan did some catch and release.
There's Greg swimming.
See the slide that goes into the water?
It was an awesome place; I'm glad we got to spend the weekend there.

Oh, Genoa, this makes me miss New England. Also looked at your travelogue and I've got the traveling jones! Phenomenal pictures - bullet holes from WWII - amazing.
