One of the nice things about having the cottage, is that occasionally you might have a spot of good weather in late September, which can seem summer-like. This was our plan a week ago, but then the weather dipped into the 50's with rain which made the cottage a miserable place to be. This past weekend however fit the Indian Summer bill, so we jumped in the car and headed north for one last weekend on the sand.
The weather was warm, I'd say about 80 degrees and the beach was pretty sandy. My buddy Steve came up the lake with us, and we finally finished working on the front porch screens. It wasn't all work though, since we did manage to get some beach time in, and Steve even took a dip in the 65 degree water along with Liam.
The sand was unlike I've ever seen! The water level is far down as well, as the US Army Corp of Engineers lowers the lake level via the Welland Canal in expectation of the upcoming month's snow melt. Here we see the munchkins building a sand castle, which I'm still told by my parents 2 days later is still standing. Oh well, no more sand castles till next summer. But it sure was nice stealing a weekend back from the summer.
