July 8, 2015. Western Head, N.SD. The Cottage.

It is a charming little cottage.  Today we 16 folks enjoyed a wonderful time at that little spot.  First, David and Randy went with Vinal on a fishing trip, meeting at 7:00.  When the rest of us arrived at 11:30, they were delighted to show off their prowess.  They caught a lot of fish but only kept the four biggest fish, which they gave to Vinal.

Immediately, the girls and the men took the kayaks and canoes to the water from the boat house.  After finding life vests, the girls were off.  Eventually, they all spent two hours playing on the raft.  They had a wonderful time, playing first one game and then another.  While they were in the water, the adults ate lunch on the deck by the cottage  We tried to find the easiest lunch, and settled on chicken pot pies and cookies.  Great lunch and easy to prepare.  While the adults sat by the water, the girls eventually came in from the raft for their lunch.   Then they joined us and stretched out on towels getting dray and warm.

Fortunately, Ken checked the weather forecast, to alert us that the rains were coming so within 15 minutes, we cleaned up the kitchen and put the boats back in the boat house.  By 3:45 we were ready to head for home.  The cottage is small but provided endless fun for both kids and adults.  And Molly still loved playing the Barbies in the loft.
