Last weekend we had such a blast with family and friends. It was go, go, go right until Monday evening when we arrived home just in time for the season finale of the Bachelorette...mommy's idea of the perfect ending to our wonderful holiday weekend.
But unfortunately none of us were ourselves this week. I was was feeling extremely rundown and so were the kiddies. I guess we tried to squeeze a little too much into 3 days...even I'll admit that (and normally I don't like to miss out on anything!). Regardless, the memories we made and the adventures we had made it all worthwhile.

The weekend began with a surprise visit from my brother and his girlfriend (she's definitely a keeper bro). I say surprise because we only found out a few days prior that they were arriving. We had one day to spend with them so we decided to make the most of it. We visited the market, had lunch with my mom, went swimming (in the hot tub -ha!), enjoyed a fabulous dinner made by my brother's girlfriend and had a movie night. Early Sunday morning we said goodbye, but thankfully the kids weren't too upset because it was on to the next adventure.

We spent a few hours packing then we loaded everyone into the car and headed north to the town of Severn, Ontario. There we were greeted by our good friends who had invited us to spend a couple days at their cottage. At first we had considered doing only a day trip, but it didn't take much convincing before we found ourselves planning to stay the night - plus I figured it would be good practice for our family vacation in a couple weeks.
We arrived just after lunch and the weather was beautiful - that's right, it was actually cooperating for once...no chance of rain, hail or tornadoes;) To be honest I'm not really sure how we managed to accomplish so many things in two days but we did it and very successfully I might add (there were no major meltdowns). It must of been a combination of the fresh air and our incredible hosts. Highlights included tubing, Hudson catching his first fish, the Muskoka Store (still one of my favourite stores ever!), a sunset cruise on the coolest pontoon boat (with Bluetooth!) and finally, hearing our wedding song being played on the guitar while our very own host sang to us in front of the campfire - we're never going to forget that one Ron:)
Thank you Ron and Kristina for all the memories.
Have a great weekend!
