Visiting friends at the cottage

We had a great day visiting with friends of ours, Greg and Sylvia, at their cottage. We took a ride on Greg's boat, drank a few Heineken, boiled some corn, grilled some burgers and generally hung out and relaxed.

Greg invited us and another couple down earlier in the week and we gladly accepted. There was quite a crew on hand -- Darrell, Kim and their two kids; Greg, Sylvia and their two kids; Monique and I with our two kids; and let's not forget Maggie, Greg's dog.

Greg ferried us to an island that they hang out at -- it had a nice beach and other boaters lounging around having a few beer and playing with their dogs.

After we returned to the cottage we started preparing the food. Greg, Darrell and I started a fire in the pit and the kids soon gathered to roast crab apples. I'm not even going to explain, so don't ask.

When dinner was finished, the kids watched some television while the adults sat by the fire and chatted. We left about 10:30 pm, full and tired.
