Wordless Wednesday: Heaven On Earth Edition!

by The Mayor!

I have a confession to make…I have skipped town once again…so don’t be hatin’ that I haven’t been making the rounds! Even as you were reading about my last wild adventure with Ninja Racoon, the kidlets & I had embarked on a new one…though hopefully, we come home with far less tall tales to tell about the crazy wildlife. I simply wasn’t able to turn down the chance to spend another week in Heaven On Earth, totally cut off from the world, & all the crap that goes with it. So for this week’s Wordless Wednesday, I wanted to share some shots from our own little piece of Heaven in the wild’s of cottage country!

It's just not a cottage without a canoe...the same canoe my grandfather taught me to paddle!

Mom's yearly photo shoot on the dock!

Breathtaking view!

  It just wouldn’t be Heaven On Earth without the company of my kidlets, & the lack of amenities & modern conveniences affords us the rare opportunity to make our own fun…this is one such activity, with astounding & hilarious results…hand to God, I did nothing to these photos!

Even I think this pic looks doctored, & I took it! Crazy cool height...HAS to be the angle, right??!!

Happy Wordless Wednesday gang! I hope your kids have also spent the summer jumping for joy in your own little slice of Heaven somewhere!

Signed,

The Mayor!

Holy flying baby, Batman! What a great group shot — those are hard. I’d take cottage over blogging ANY day. Well, I’m lazy, so often I take ice cream, staring at the wall or taking out the garbage over blogging, but that’s just me.

That first pic looks mighty Canadian Shield…Muskoka like almost (or perhaps G-Bay or Haliburton)…regardless it looks pretty close to where I live. :)
Gee, cottaging over blogging, that’s not a tough decision!

Those cheer jumps are pretty fantastic. That’s some air they’re getting.

@Amanda – your bang in with where she’s at. The family cottage is actually in Algonquin park.

@alllison – They know that when mom pulls out the camera to assume the position and smile…there are consequences to not following the Mayor’s wishes. ;)

Enjoy your Wednesday ladies…The Best Friend needs to get ready for work.

you need to school my kids in the proper form for taking group photos, like everyone looking at the camera and no fingers up noses. (or in pants)

That is one swanky cottage. See, I’d hang out at a cottage like that (waiting for invite waiting waiting….) but not ones without plumbing.
You’re kids are be-u-ti-ful girl!
Great pics!
This was a terrific post, and can I say, I can’t wait till all of our kids are back in school and we can all meet up for coffee….I know, wishful thinking.
