Rainy Days

So as fun as our week of holidays at the cottage were, it was super disappointing to have 3 straight days of rain!!! We made the best of it though, and luckily didn't drive each other too crazy. Here are some of the pictures of how we filled our time.
With a break in the clouds we headed out for a boat ride only to be pelted by rain as we sailed accross the lake! We all took cover best we could under towels.
Mom and Cristina hiding out

Scott purchased Rock Band 2 this summer and we brought it along to the lake and had a great time with it! Everyone tried, even my parents! My dad played drums several times, and ended up scoring not too bad after a while.
Olly loving his turn!!
Story time with Auntie Crissi is always special
On the second day of rain when we just couldn't take it anymore, we braved the damp cold weather and headed out to Falcon lake for supper and mini golfing. Kalia mostly just ran around to burn energy but Oliver joined right in!!

Snuggles with Dad
Kalia just loves hanging out on the top bunk in Cristina's room, and now Oliver gets all excited about it already too! Better mom than me climbing up and down from there all day, lol!!
Play doh was a big hit for Kalia. Here, Kalia just kept telling my dad to turn everything he was making into a necklace for her to wear.
Kalia doing her 'art'! I help Cristina mix colors while she paints sometimes and, Kalia seeing this wanted to try it out for herself. Mom bought her a set of real watercolors which made Kalia so pleased.
Escaping cabin fever by visiting Amber and Erik at their lake where they were also vacationing for the week. The dads were off fishing in the rain. I think we had the more fun activity!
What goes together better than a story and a snuggle?

Cheesy little guy! So much fun to sit on Auntie Cristina's tray.

Such great pictures:)! Oliver is so cute! I love the picture of him and Scott playing the 'drums'! And I'm sure I say it all the time, but Kalia is such a beautiful little girl! Glad you guys still had lots of fun even in the rain!

I still can't get over how much older Oliver looks than Koen! Must be the teeth, hair and the fact that he's walking. lol.
Looks like you had a great vacation even though it rained a lot!
