We are on vacation at Quarterdeck cottage...
These are the lazy days of summer that I look forward to every year.
Time for simple card games
family meals, hopscotch, bubble blowing,
sidewalk chalk art
beach ball volleyball in front of the cottage
swimming in the pool
the laughter and fun that we have while making precious memories.
Crib games were mostly won by Mr. HB
Towels and bathing suits...hanging when not in use.
The cottage takes on a rather more casual vibe when the family is here.
We tidy up a wee bit but mostly it just fills up with stuff!
I actually enjoy the chaos as it feels more genuine than a picture perfect image.
A special girl celebrated her 9th birthday!
The party was casual and had a beachy theme...
This inflatable beach ball was a big hit!
The Volleyball Games began and so far have been quite popular.
Sunshine and a seaview...great combination for a holiday.

It was the first thing I purchased when we bought our share in the cottage...
it is originally from the Grand Cayman Islands.
I have been busy preparing and serving meals to the crew...
it is one of the things I most enjoy.
Watching people happily eating at the table.
IF
they score a seat at the table!
Our table seats 6 and the kids have had extra friends visiting...
so it is a wee bit of a race to grab a seat.
Those of us who are served last
sit on the deck overlooking the Salish Sea
which is actually the best seat in the cottage :-))
Well I must close for now as I have people to feed and things to do!
Hope your summer is ticking along nicely.
Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
