What do you get with 15 people in one cottage, 1 bathroom (plus an outhouse), water, boats, fishing, Risk and Cribbage and a TON of junk food?? It's the Wohlgemut Cottage week! Every couple years, Dan's whole family gets together and goes to the cottage on the shores of Lake Kashwakamak, about an hour north of Kingston. With Addison and her 6 cousins ranging in age from 5-16, there was no shortage of entertainment! Addison loved all the attention she got! So much that she decided that for the most part, nap time and bedtime were more of a "suggestion" than a necessity. Who needs to sleep when your cousins are playing in the next room?
Many of us tried our hand at fishing; our nephew Tobin was the only successful one. The only thing I caught when I went out was a bunch of mosquito bites. UGH. Addison went out on a row boat (halfway out she decided she wanted "out" - NOW!!! Dan took her out on the kayak and had much better luck.
We enjoyed Smores by the fireside; Aunt Denise brought some M&Ms and quickly became Addie's new best friend! She would give Addison a couple chocolates and Addison would eat one and bring the other one to her cousins, or aunts and uncles. She figured out pretty quickly though that she could fit 2 in her mouth and that was the end of sharing!
It was tough when everyone started to leave...by Sunday, Addison was the only cousin left and walked around the cottage saying, "Rachel? Lauren? Toby?" and was quite disappointed when she couldn't find all of her buddies!

Aww, looks like so much fun!! We get to go away to a cottage soon, too and I can hardly wait. Unfortunately, there are no cousins for my kids to play with, but we'll make do :)
Sounds like you guys had a blast! Always fun when the cousins are around :)
