We left for Kenora, Ontario after church on Sunday. We stayed in a hotel and had pizza for dinner that night with Grandma and Grandpa and the Richard Cutts family. After dinner the grandparents watched the grandkids while Chris, Richard and Jacquie and I drove around Kenora. It was rainy, so we didn't get out, except to get ice cream! That night we played games, then went to bed.
Monday morning we met up with the Tom Cutts family and headed out to the Island we would stay at for the next four days. We started out around noon. Again, it was rainy and the water was very high. When we got to the island the dock was totally submersed and the water was up above our ankles. It was an adventure! The guys were great and got all our stuff up to the cabin (and there was a lot of stuff). That was when it was decided we had to eat, and eat none stop, because we did not want to bring back all the food and snacks we brought out. (Again, good thing biggest loser is over!). We got used to the cabin and island that day. Our lodgings were great, rustic (read old), but had enough space and beds for us all. We explored the island after dinner with Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Tom, Uncle Richard, and all the kids. It rained some more on us, and we got eaten alive, but pretty sure everyone had fun.
After the kids were in bed, Grandpa said he was going for a swim (remember it has been cold and rainy all day...and really, all weekend, the water was not warm!) But his kids joined him. The in-laws and Grandma (notice those without true Cutts blood) stayed back, something about them not being able to handle it (or maybe just being smarter than us).
These were the only pictures I got of this day, but they are great!
The before pictures.
Richard gets two because his faces are so great!
That's Dad's fancy boat in the background.
And the after pics.
It was cold! But we all jumped in about 3 times, and Tom even swam out a bit!
After our refreshing dip we played games and went to bed, excited for the rest of the week!
