Fall Visit to Big Cedar Lake


Saturday and Sunday, September 21-22, 2019

Maman was working on Saturday so the Bowman boys decided to come up to the cottage to go tubing (last chance) and fishing.  Their visit started with a campfire lunch (Papa tried hard to get a fire starter kit to work but found that matches were a lot better). Yummy sausages and s’mores. Then tubing – the water was getting cold but they went for a long ride, switching tubers behind the boat. Then a game, some popcorn (Grandpa popped it over the propane burner).  It was warm enough for an outdoor dinner on the deck, followed by one of Grandpa’s Chatter the Red Squirrel stories.

Early the next morning the boys went down to the dock with Barbara to watch the sun rise. It was cloudy but the bright colours showed them where it was.  After breakfast more fishing and more games with Papa.  Sam showed his two “friends” he made at school.  David had his too.

Papa’s Birthday

Friday, September 13, 2019


Maman invited the neighbours over to have a piece of Papa’s chocolate oreo ice cream birthday cake. The kids really enjoyed the cake and then had fun playing games together outside and inside.  Happy Birthday Papa (39)!
