Thanks to the generosity of Katrine's aunt Lu and uncle Ron, we spent a wonderful weekend at their cottage in Perth, Ontario, on Christie Lake.

When we arrived, it was nice enough outside that we could go for a little swim before dinner.
Katrine aussi est allé à l'eau! Even Mommy Kat went in the water! |
Malgré le temps gris et pluvioteux du samedi matin, nous sommes allé faire une petite ballade à pied, puis Nicolas est allé faire une longue promenade en kayak. C'était très zen!
Despite the gray and rainy weather on Saturday, we went for a walk outside and Nick went for a kayak ride on his own. It was a very peaceful "zen" kind of day!

Au courant de l'après midi, les parents de Katrine sont arrivés à leur tour. Nous avons fait la visite du petit chalet adjacent au chalet principal, qui a été récemment rénové. Il est utilisé lorsque le nombre d'invités dépasse la capacité du chalet principal. À notre connaissance, c'est le seul endroit où la 'bécosse' possède un chandelier!
During the afternoon, Katrine's parents arrived at the cottage. We visited the neighbouring cottage (still referred to as "Aunt Marie's", due to its previous occupant), that has been recently renovated. The Mitchell family's cottage is a popular spot. When there are so many visitors that they can't all sleep in the main cottage, they can now go to the new-and-improved Aunt Marie's cottage. To our knowledge, this may be the only outhouse with a chandelier!
Bien entendu, une visite au chalet ne serait complète sans le classique saut dans le lac du haut du gros rocher!
Of course no visit to the Mitchell cottage would be complete without jumping off the Big Rock. Note that the camera batteries died JUST before Katrine jumped in the water, but she really did jump!

Et un dernier tour de kayak avant de partir!
And one last kayak ride before heading home!
