Geertsema Cottaging 2011

Well, we have returned home from another successful round of cottaging this summer!  Fun was had by all!  We could have done with softer mattresses and a few less rocks outside the cottage to make it a bit more kid-friendly, but it was fun to be together and relaxing!  Since we've been gone so much this summer we really haven't noticed how much trouble Anneke can get into.....now that we're home it's disaster at every turn!  Since leaving she's learned to crawl well, pull herself up, and walk around furniture.  Needless to say, our house is now a whole new world!  And back home for us means we are much more seriously shopping for a vehicle and starting to think about going back to school--blech on both counts!
Anyways, here are some photos from our week--Enjoy!
The waterfront--The water was quite warm!  We had some ducks to feed and a very tippy dock to walk on.


Coffee Time outside....
Reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Anneke and Rachel played together a bit.  Their favourite location was in front of the window.  Anneke loved standing up and banging on it....glad I don't have to wash it!

S'mores, please!

 Hanging out with Uncle Michael and the girls!  We're so glad that Uncle Michael could come!

 Anneke's other favourite place to stand--the screen door.  Perhaps not the best idea with so many people going in and out, she did fall out once.....but it's so entertaining outside!


 Playing with Oma and reading her book--we're going straight to the novels with this child!

Great pictures, Steph & Dave! Anneke looks so big after only a few weeks of not seeing her. Craziness! Looks like you had a nice time.
