owen sound part 2

Part 2 of our family get-a-way.
~Part 1 is on the post below.~


The boys are so blest to have such amazing aunts & uncles. Everyone has lots of fun together & they are good role models. Heather, one night took her duties as aunt a little too far. Finally I had been able to get a few hours of sleep in a row, when I woke up to some strange noices. I was sleeping in a little bunkhouse beside the cottage. I squinted at the time 3:35 am. I saw Heather leading three little boys into the cottage & they were so tired that they were wobbling. Before I knew it, Heather is knocking on our door. I rushed outside to see what was going on. The boys had been sleeping in a tent right beside our bunkie, but now the tent was empty. Heather pointed to the sky. There was lightning and the trees were moving, but it didn't look too bad. Heather was convinced that something big was coming our way. She woke up James & moved him; playpen & all into the cottage. Rachel moved Kentin into the cottage; playpen & all. The cottage was small & now it was packed with tired children, playpens, & it was in the middle of the night. By this time it was obvious that there would be no severe storm but now all of the little ones were awake. In Heather's own words, "The heroine has become a fool."  It all turned out okay & we had a good laugh about it the morning.



Andrew soaked up the activity & on the way home he was asleep in a few minutes.



A big thankyou to dad & mom for arranging all of this. It was a special time with lots of memories.
