at the cottage day four


 Lots of pictures in this one!  The day started with a bit of hanging around the cottage - puzzling, playing.


Then the girls hit the town of Huntsville for some morning shopping and lunch.  (No pictures of this.)  When we returned, everyone hit the water.  First some fun at the beach.


 Then it was time for us all to get into boats and head to the big rock!  The Daddys were ready to jump.


Evelyn and I were responsible for picture taking.  We stayed in the paddle boat.  The rest climbed up to the top of the rock.


 Dwayne was the first to jump.


Andrew getting ready.  I didn't take a picture of his actual jump.  I took a video but I'm having trouble loading it here.  You'll have to trust me.


Then the kids jumped off the smaller rocks.


 Then to a slightly bigger rock.


 Heading back to the dock for more beach time.


After supper it started to rain.  The kids watched a movie.


As the skies cleared, I walked down to the dock and got a few pictures before racing back to the cottage to convince everyone to stop the movie, close their books and come down for a campfire.


 Thankfully they listened.


 I found these gigantic marshmallows in Huntsville.  That is seriously one marshmallow in Abigail's smore!  They were perhaps a bit much.  But still a great ending to another amazing day at the cottage.
