Enjoyed our last full day at the cottage. The little ones got in lots of running around time. After dinner Abi and Chelsey were on the beach, Declan in a Muskoka chair on the deck. Daddy was a little further down the deck and Daniella and Mike were on the Deck watching the kids down on the beach. (I was in the shower...missed all the action). Adults could hear an unusual sound of what seemed to be a huge waterfall fast approaching. Mike and Daniella yelled to Abi and Chelsey to run back to the cottage. Just as they started to run the skies opened up and sheets of rain poured down on the lot of them. While Abi and Chelsey got soaked Declan leapt from the chair and heart pounding rain to the sliding door. Luckily Daddy ran just as fast to meet him and pulled him inside. It's the cutest thing listening to Declan tell me about his rain adventure and how fast he was. Then 5 minutes later it stopped. Literally just dumped water all over so we were thankful we'd already cleaned up the beach, dock, yard and deck about two hours earlier.
Couple hours later after Declan went to bed we heard some fireworks being let off a few cottages away. This morning when Declan sat up in bed the first thing he said was "the fireworks scared me." I was surprised he knew what the sound was and then felt bad that I didn't know he'd been awake to hear them. Poor guy.
So we packed it all up and were on our way by 10am. Heading home early to miss all the traffic. Declan was looking forward to seeing all of his toys at home. This evening when putting Declan to bed he asked me to tell him a story. I told him about a little boy named Declan who had fun with his friend at the cottage.
Next was his turn. He told us about a little boy at the cottage who ran around and around and then had food and ate a bear paw and has snacks with Chelsey and played and played.
Sounds like he had a fun week. My heart is full.
