so let's go to the cottage...again
that's right. i came home from my cottage, only to pack up for a trip up to algonquin with the berkises, who i might add, are the most hospitable people i have ever met in my life!
alex and i had our own self-contained cabin and so did andrew and his girlfriend, erica. our's was way cooler, with loft beds and a kitchen and a little breakfast nook. then there was a main cabin and another guest cabin used exclusively for board games. we were right on the water and there were too many boats to contemplate so alex and i played 'supervisor' on the dock (it was cold, dammit!)
so there were campfires, stargazing and lots and lots of food. we always ate outside in a really cool outdoor dining room and breakfast with the berkises means pancakes and eggs and toast with two types of jam, pulp and no-pulp oj, coffee and any meat that you wanted (but i don't really know what kind, i just know there was plenty).
oh, and we played with frogs all weekend and played trivial pursuit just the way i like it (no board and the really old 80's edition that I memorized all the answers to from my cottage).
on top of that, they tricked alex and i into going on a hike, which turned out to be incredible with really beautiful water falls.
so i am so thankful that i had such a nice family who took such great care of me while i was with them (oh and susan french braided my hair too, which was a first for me!)

Nothing like bonding over french braids.
I am so happy to see there are still some frogs left in the world.
Sounds like you had an awesome time with sme awesome people.
it was so much fun...and don't worry: there were so many frogs, we didn't know what to do with them.
Ron called alex and i the frauline twins!
we had a good time didn't we.
i remember how cold it was even though it was suppose to be summer-warmth. are bunks were warm though b/c heat rises right?
i was just thinking about how much time you me and ryan took off work for those trips. we all booked off for your cottage then you and me took off again like a day later. awesome.
Miss you! Alex
it was sooo much fun, but yes, it was cold! no swimming. Well, we swam a bit up at my cottage but that was more like anna and i standing around shivering and you yelling at us to jump in. ha ha.
yeah we took a whole week off work and ryan took at least five days. how did they survive without us? i like how it was written off in the book-off book: alex + jessa! cottage! way to take initiative.
