Please find below the first blog post for 2014. I decided to blog about our summer holidays. A couple of years ago I did the same and find it interesting to go back and reminisce about our holidays.
This year our first outing was at Windy Lake with the Mousseau clan. Louise's mom along with 4 of her brothers along with uncle Norm, aunt Sue and Fabien joined us for 4 days of camping. The weather was very nice on the first day and the kids got on the lake and did some tubing behind uncle Guy's boat. The second day was cold and rainy but we still had fun fishing and playing board games. We got some much needed time together and reconnected as a family. I even slept two nights with Adrien on one side and Julianne on the other. I didn't get much sleep but the kids were happy.
I played some Texas Horseshoe and read half of the first book in the Games of Thrones series. The weather on the third day was even colder than the first two days. It was only 11C in the afternoon and rainy most of the day. Louise and her brothers went fishing but did not have much luck. Jasmine and I went for a ride to Dowling and stopped by Levack as I had lived there a couple of month about 25 years ago. The town was bigger than I remembered.
We packed up early on Thursday and headed to visit my cousin Josée on Ministic Lake. We were picked up on Otter Lake via pontoon and headed to her cottage on Ministic Lake. We spent the afternoon with Josée and aunt Pauline and uncle Laurier. We had an awesome BBQ supper and went fishing with uncle Laurier and the kids. Once again not much luck with the fishing but we had fun. We left Ministic Lake at around 9:00 PM and got home at 11:30 that night. We were all tired on Friday but enjoyed our first week of holidays. Next week we are redoing our driveway. It will be hard work but with the help of our kids it should be a bit easier.
