My Summer Home

     I can barely remember when I got my cottage. The only thing I really remember was how up set I was because I had to quit soccer because I was way all summer.

    When we bought our cottage didn’t look very good. It was this ugly blue-green colour. It used to be used as a place to stay when the previous owners went hunting. It looked very tough inside and out. When my dad bought it he thought of it as a fixer up project. It took us approximately 5 summers or so to get it the way it is now.

     We basically rebuilt our cottage. It was a long process. One morning when we were still rebuilding my cottage there was a bat flying around and we were chasing it with badminton rackets. The dock was just whole bunch of pieces of wood nailed together. One May 24 weekend we got ride of our old dock and rebuild a new one. It went well except for the water snakes home we got rid of with are old dock.

    

     A few years ago we built a gazebo by our dock. It’s a nice place to sit and look at the lake out of the sun. Now that all the works done we can just sit and relax. Last summer my friend Rachel came to my cottage and she was swinging on an old rope in the forest and it broke. Its fun times like these that I can now enjoy. Now that my cottage is finished.

    

     We have had our cottage for 10 years now and it took a bit of time to get it the way it is. I’m now looking forward to years to come there.
