There is a cottage in my husband's family that has been in their family for years. His cousins and aunts and uncles have lots of fond memories there since in the summer, they would all spend most of their time there. When all of the aunts and uncles were older and moved to other states, they still would make it back for at least a week out of the year with their kids to stay at the cottage. My understanding is that it was built to be a club house for a golf course, but after they had finished building it, they decided they wanted it in a different place and built another one. My husband's great grandma purchased the lake home when there were few, if any, other homes on the lake. It is a beautiful place with a prime location. This year we all got together to celebrate their grandma's 95th birthday. Check out all of the great grandkids she has! Pretty amazing...
As you can see, there is always lots of adventure at the cottage: skiing, sailing, and fort building but the addition this year was a zipline. Also at the end of the week, the whole family piled onto my father-in-law's boat and we went swimming in the middle of Lake St. Clair. Jumping off the top of the boat is the best way to get in, but it's about a fifteen foot drop. And from that high up on a rocking boat, it takes a little courage!
Overall, wonderful company, delicious food, sunny weather....great week!
I love these! They def. have a summery, family-fun feel!
