Fathers Day Tradition.....a little bonus for Mommy!!

This past Father's Day we did what we have been doing for the past 4 or 5 yrs...one can't keep track...we just started doing it and it has become a ritual! We escape the expected from Fathers and Family and focus on our wee family! We travel north to a friend's cottage, which we have adopted, and hide out in the tranquillity of Six Mile Lake! Us...the Fish, the Loons and NOW the Chipmunks and two Geese that call the dock their home! AND the mosquitoes...how can we forget them!! BLOOD SUCKERS!

Like some Family members...but that's another blog!


Father's Day is around Hubby's Birthday!! So he gets the WHOLE weekend!! And all he wants to do is FISH! To be with nature!! I'm all for that!! See....when we go to the cottage, the kids want to fish with Daddy...and all four of them will be on the dock...fishing....and I will be on the deck, umbrella up, wine glass filled, book in hand and enjoying the peace!! No one wants to sit and read with Mommy....they want to fish and tickle their toes in the water!! And they did!! No pics of the fish(sorry)...but Katie, in her purple party dress(her choice) caught the biggest fish!! A 3 pound Bass! The boys all caught mini sunfish, bass and one catfish!! We do the catch and release here in Watton Land!!

Hubby had a blast!! Fishing and spending time with his kids!! To him it was perfect!!

To me...... it was perfect!! I had alone time!! He had his kids!!
Perfect Father's Day Weekend....right!!?
