They should have been home tonight in San Antonio, but instead they are still in Nova Scotia. The flight was cancelled. Suzanne picked up her e mails first thing this morning, to discover that the flight from Halifax to New Jersey was cancelled. Fortunately, everyone was still asleep, so Suzanne went back to bed herself. One by one the girls awoke to discover that a bonus day had been awarded. They were thrilled. After pancakes for breakfast, Samantha and Allison baked brownies for lunch.
Then, one after another, we went to the cottage. It was a calm quiet day, full of swimming and boating and Barbies. It was a true bonus day for everyone. Ken and I headed out to the cottage first and sat by the water just watching the water. Next, David and Suzanne and the girls arrived, the girls to head right to the loft to play and Suzanne and David to fish from the canoe. David and Irene arrived in time to sit by the water and enjoy the peace and quiet before lunch, which was hot dogs with brownies for dessert, served on the deck of the cabin.
The girls swam all afternoon, Samantha and Allison with me first while Sarah and Abigail fished, then all four playing at the raft then on the dock. It was pleasing to us to see the use of the facilities. Finally, smoked salmon appetizer on the deck by the water, followed by dinner around the fire. It was a lovely relaxed calm day full of fun and family play. It was a true Bonus Day for both adults and children.
