cottage pictures



Kaarel and Annie in the motorboat, yesterday at the cottage.





Jeff and I took Sara and Annie up a day early
(Ruth and Kaarel came up on Friday night)





Sara was determined to find a salamander while she
was at the cottage. Weeks in advance, she researched salamanders
via various books, pinpointed the most common species,
knew where to look; I was really impressed. With
Uncle Jeff's assistance, she found one! After she and Annie
took turns carefully examining it, she put it back in
the forest.





Roasting marshmallows over the firepit.




Sara with a fish she just caught.
We had it for breakfast the following morning.





Feeding the local chipmunks.




Sara went out in a canoe several times by herself
(always with an adult watching from shore). Annie asked to
accompany Sara on one of her paddles, and Sara graciously agreed.
