Weekend at the Cottage

Since Phil and Will were out of town for Will's "10 year old Trip," Alex and I went up to the cottage with Grandma. We drove to GR on Thursday afternoon and went out to dinner at Red Robin followed by some shopping at Barnes and Noble. On Friday morning, we got up early and arrived at the cottage by 10am. It was so hot! But, we all went out on the pontoon with Aunt Mara and Uncle Ken. Alex tried fishing but we decided it was too hot for the fish to be biting (water temp was 79 degrees) so he and Uncle Ken went tubing for a while. Then we went to Bud's to have dinner and cool off. In the middle of the night, we woke up to severe thunderstorms but it brought the temperatures down a bit. On Saturday, we had rain and storms almost all day. We spent a lot of time reading and playing games on the porch. We did run to Moomer's for ice cream, the used book store, and Bud's for mocha chillers. On Sunday, we got up early so we could get to GR in time for the noon showing of Detective Pikachu.
