vacation - day 1&2

SOOO we are on vacation again.  Upon first arrive at this cottage... we were somewhat disappointed. The cottage itself is on the old side.  Least the bedrooms and bathrooms are newer.  (they are working on fixing it up)  I think we were REALLY spoiled at that last place we rented.  ANYHOW - we are here and now day two is not so bad.  We are on Lake Muskoka and this is an awesome lake.  Great boating.  The outside of this cottage is so nice!  Below is a picture of the kids about to go tubing and the back ground is the cottage.  Nicely on the water.

So since the kitchen isn't really that equipped with a lot of cooking supplies and the stove/oven is really old... we will be eating out or having very simple meals here. 
Tonight we went to Port Carling for dinner to Turtle Jacks.  What a neat little town.  Below are some photos of "The Wall".  This wall photo is HUGE and is made up of small photos.  Maybe you will get the idea when you see the photos.

thankful thursday

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have  everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know everything,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
