July 27, 2010. Western Head, N.S. The Cottage.

The children love it. The cottage has a loft, accessed by a put down set of stairs. Up there are thirty Barby dolls along with clothes and Barby furniture, all purchased for a song at an auction. All four girls love to go up and ask us to pull up the stairs so no one can come up. The first thing we all do when arriving at the cottage is put on our bathing suits and swim. Next up is the boats. The kayaks and canoe got a workout. Then up next was the Barby's. This time they brought a bunch down to the water where they played on the rocks for over an hour.

After their sailing class this afternoon we all went to the cottage, at their request. Dinner was eaten around the fire, followed by more play with Barby dolls. The evening was lovely but finally we drove home, arriving around 9:o'clock. The girls wanted to sleep there but with only one bedroom and one couch we suggested that it might be uncomfortable on the hard floor.

Not everything you do works out well but this little cottage certainly has been a hit with everyone, including us. But especially the children.
