Bisbee North






This past weekend we went to friends' of ours cottage. This is an annual thing that they have been doing for years, but the activities over the past few years have changed quite a bit now that kids are on the scene. Brad was commenting on how he used to take a case of beer and some Crown Royal just for the weekend. Thankfully the quantity of consumption decreased dramatically by the time I entered the scene.

It was also amusing to hear our friend Tim complain about the noise that some 'kids' were making across the lake the night before we arrived. I am quite certain that a few years ago there were nights that neighbouring cottages were wishing that the Bisbee guests would pass out for the night. You know you are getting old when you are referring to people in their late teens/early twenties as kids.

Ed & Becky brought their tent trailer up & that is where we slept for the night. It was quite cozy, but I was wishing that I brought the extra blankets that Brad mocked me for packing. It was a nice night, but did get cool in the trailer. Jason was restless around 3:30am so I brought him into bed with us & his head did feel pretty chilly. He probably would have been fine if he had some hair to keep the warmth in. I was thankful that he did go back to sleep once he settled down & realized that I was not going to talk or play with him. However, when he woke at 6am & saw that I was right there- well play time started immediately. I was thankful when he realized that Brad was there too so that he could go climb all over him.

Sydney liked her sleeping arrangement too. She got a big bed all to herself & thought the curtains were pretty neat. Unfortunately she had to have a game of peek-a-boo with Jason at bedtime which got them both worked up & had to be supervised until they went to sleep. I didn't mind too much since I was halfway through Harry Potter & welcomed an excuse to sit and read for awhile. My nose was in that book as much as possible this weekend & last night I could not go to bed until I finished it. Thankfully I finished by 11pm so that I wasn't up all night reading- but it would have been worth it if I was.

Sorry there are no pictures of Matthew Becky. I only had the camera out the once & that was when Matthew & George were in the cottage.
