Sunday 22nd August

Much quieter day today.  It’s overcast again, but we start off with the kids going out in Ian’s tin boat.  Helen and I watch from the dock.  It starts to rain so we all head back up to the cottage – except Alison who is determined that she is going to have her swim!  We plan to look out to Minden later, but spend a very leisurely lunch chewing the cud with Ken and Alison that the time just goes and it’s soon time for them to head of home.  We phone up Owl rafting in Ottawa and book a white water rafting trip next Sunday.  The kids watch a movie then go for a last swim in the lake with Ian.

After Ken, Alison and Ian leave the place feel quite quiet!  We have a quiet evening, reading and Helen tries to find something to watch on TV.  The choice is Family Guy or Canada’s got a Dancing Idol type competition.
