Every summer we head to Canada for a couple weeks for some family time with McDonald's. We have a 1,000 mile car ride along with a couple hours in the grocery store before we finally arrive. Getting there is hard work but well worth it. The cottage has no electricity, and my cell phone does not work but the one on one family time is very special. Hunters Grandparents who live in Nashville spend their whole summer in Canada and he also has Cousins, Aunts and Uncles that come all summer long. Its really a great time to visit with family we don't always get to see.
This summer we went on a lot of picnics where the girls enjoyed catching minnows, frogs and any other creatures they came across. We also worked hard on catching enough bass for a fish dinner that ended up to be our dinner the last night. Lauren was such a sport while we fished, she would bring her Barbies or stuffed animals and keep herself busy playing on the boat while Hunter, Elizabeth and I fished. One night while Hunter and I ate dinner with his Grandparents we watched the girls play by the water with rocks, logs and sticks. Watching them was more fun for the four of us. To see them outside playing, using their imagination was priceless.
No TV, no phone, no computer, just family.
Sounds like the perfect trip!!!
