Where to start...we had a great time at Elim Lodge. We travelled up with Gerald and Sylvia and got there in good time. My parents were close behind and for some reason Adrian and Laura arrived after us ;o) Set up was not so fun for some as it rained and rained. I am sooo thankful to have a cottage. We seemed to a little of everything so here are a bunch of pictures to show what we did. There are no fishing ones as I only took my cell phone and don't know how to get the pictures off of my phone.

We had a few visits to "Play Park"

As much as I enjoy the pool...the beach was warmer and the kids absolutely loved it. Carsten constantly kept talking baout "catching his perfect wave". Can you tell we watched Surf's Up?

After the beach we would head back behind our cottage and relax with family and friends. The hammocks (after much trouble to get them hanging) were a big hit. Thanks guys for allowing my kids to chill in them.

Then off to do some more water sports. We did not do as much as we normally would as the weather was cool on some days.

Savannah's daily trip to the snackery with her daddy, their date. She wanted only crackers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then I was informed that Daddy was taking her to the snackery every morning for bacon, popsicles and ice cream.

Looks like you guys had a great time. Beautiful pictures. What a nice time it is to be with friends and family and just enjoy God's creation!
Looks like tons of fun. Dan went there when he was a kid. He saw me watching the video of Savaana playing on the monkey bar thing and he says "Elim Lodge used to have one of those!"
Great pictures! Looks like you all had a really fun time! Makes me so excited about our cottage-vacation that's coming up.
Would we be able to borrow your kids' life-jackets? I don't have any, and don't really feel like spending $60-70 to buy them for one week.
I made it to the end, the more picture the better! looks like a nice place to cottage.
Yup, Elim still has that monkey bar rocket ship. Apparently they will be changing it out soon...they have been slowly but surely.
Jannyne, I got Savannah's at Canadian Tire for 19.99 and we will be continuing to use it all summer when we go swimming or to the beach. My parents have our other ones and theirs (not sure who's is whose) in the boat for all the other kids that come with. Sorry we can't get them to you.
I know it is expensive...the life jacket I wanted for Savannah was around 54.99 so we settles for the less nice one ;o) I am looking on the bright side, I know I will use them every year. HTH.
Cor and I were just talking about Elim. The pictures are great, doesn't look like much has changed in the past years. Love the cute, cute picture of Savannah (one of the last ones).
Wow, up at 5 AM on vacation! Worth the picture though.
Now this is my kind of vacation! Looks like you guys had a great time! You got some wonderful photos. I'm very interested to know what kind of camera you have. My "action shots" are terrible compared to yours.
