Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real -31 July 2014

Ella was very Happy to be invited to my friend's trailer for a few days.  Michelle's over in Bancroft which is a 2 hour drive.  I decided to take a short vacation too instead of driving back and forth 4 times.  Found a cute cottage to rent.  Turns out it was literally across the lake from where Ella was staying.

Just the right size for Grandma and I (Daddy was too busy to come and Grandma needed a vacation)

Perfect size for a couple.  If you brought kids, you would have to hope for perfect weather or they would drive you nuts.

The only thing I didn't like was the alleged 'staircase'.  Obviously they didn't have the Building Inspector out after construction because the 'staircase' was basically a ladder.  It was all I could do to get my suitcase upstairs.  It was nerve-wracking coming down in the middle of the night for the bathroom too.

It was beautifully cool so we didn't go in the lake, but there's a dock and paddle boat for visitor use.  

Ella had a good time and found out that Momma isn't the only one who makes her mind  :)  She was also very happy when Momma and Grandma arrived to pick her up.  As much as she likes to be a 'big girl' Ella misses her Momma when she's away.  Which makes Momma very Happy.
