We have always loved coming to Pointe-au-Baril each summer to visit our cottage, but this year was made that much more special because we were able to see family that we've missed over the last few months while we've been in Bermuda. We began our month-long stay with a couple days of just the four of us cleaning, tidying, celebrating Morgan's sixth birthday and seeing what jobs were most pressing for this year.
Brett, Karen, Sophie and Clara called and said they were arriving the next day and we had a lovely few days catching up, splashing at the beach and exploring the variety of toys on the veranda. One day after they left, Brandon and Lucy arrived for a week of fun. Swimming off the dock became the activity of choice, along with lots of books, riding on the top of the car and various arts and crafts activities. Before long, Grandma, Mary-Kate, Dan and Bodhi arrived to fill up the rest of the bedrooms at the cottage and we had a very full house.
It has been fantastic to see all of the different personalities of the little members of the Christopher family and how they relate to each other. While sleep can be a little hard to find around here, fun certainly isn't. We have thoroughly enjoyed all the action, laughter and excitement of the past couple of cottage weeks. It is feeling more and more like we have the best of all worlds...Bermuda through the year, Pointe-au-Baril through the summer. What more could we ask for?
