Their Last Day.....

As I am writing this post I am feeling the same sadness that we all felt on the last day we all hung out at the cottage  - by all I mean my sister Hopi and her girls Anna and Sophia, my sister Carith and my Mom (dad was at work).  The next day my sisters and nieces would be heading back home.  The kids had a great time fishing and swimming and the weather was beautiful.

this photo is from the farm - we had dinner out on the picnic table and Ronan and Sophia opted to eat their dinner sitting with Golden and Lucky the little doggies in the pen - I could not resist

Hopi could not resist - haha

Anushka - this one is for you - the AMAZING butter tarts that I love so much

Ro and Anna created a new way of fishing - laying on a life jacket, goggles on and a fishing net in hand

cool cousins

the race back

the cousins had a great time together this summer - all their adventures and exploring.  making up for the lost time that they don't see each other throughout the year.  they have become really proficient at skyping with each other while we live in St. Maarten and them in B.C.  Hopefully they will be hanging out together again in the spring on a beach somewhere as they miss their cousins immensely when they are not together.  Thank Oma and Papa for having us all........(I think the dock was a big hit)
