July 6th - Alexandria Bay - Day 3

Saturday.

The day we were planning to leave.

It was supposed to be a bit rainy and I had planned to try to meet up with my friend at her cottage on Wellesley Island. 

I woke up bright and early again and saw that it HAD rained a lot overnight.

But the skies were clearing and it was HOT.

We decided to stay another night. It was just TOO nice out to go home.

But, since we had done the things we wanted to do, Saturday was a nice, relaxing, no rush kind of day.

We did end up going on the boat and made it to a nice shallow spot for the kids to play.

I forgot to mention that we ordered in food last night and there was som drama. I'll need to go back and update the post! But, if you know Ava, you know the girl LOVES steak. So this was her leftovers from dinner she ate as her breakfast. With a side of bacon. Good Lord. I made sure she had some fruit, too. 

Lazy Saturday = TV and grilled cheese sandwiches

Picton! 

It was around this time that we realized the boys fucked up.

Big time.

Before we left, we made sure to grab cold drinks from the cooler to bring onto the boat cooler. Drinks for everyone.

We handed a red bag to one boy. 

He passed it to another boy.

Who left it by another boy.

Who didn't know the bag was left near him as he loaded up ice.

So our bag of drinks sat on the dock for HOURS, pretty much boiling while we were at Picton. I think each of us ladies had ONE drink. 

So yeah. We were pretty pissed. 

We make sure the kids have fun first and foremost. This trip is largely for them.

BUT YOU FORGOT OUR DRINKS???? 

I can't say we didn't call them little assholes under our breath.

This boy. Been one of my BFFs for 20 years. I absolutely love him and his wife and their boys. They are truly family to me. I am beyond grateful that he brought his wife into my life. I'm forever appreciative of people like them in my life. They've been so supportive the last two years during the worst time of my life. 

6 of the 8. The big boys were on the Jetskis

The best memories were made here!

💗

After a few hours on the water, we headed back to the townhouse. More fried cheese curds and us ladies prepped for dinner.

There's something to be said about cooking with your girlfriends, enjoying a cocktail while all the kids play (relatively nicely) and the husbands are no where to be found. 

We enjoyed a delicious meal Emily had prepped of chicken and steak. We spent the rest of the lovely evening watching National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation before heading to bed. 

Tomorrow we pack up, clean up and head home.

It's been a glorious 3 days. 

I'm so, so grateful for times like this. I got to fully enjoy my time and I tried really hard not to let intrusive thoughts take over. I enjoyed my time. I enjoyed my kids and my friends' kids. I laughed with my friends until I CRIED. 

I needed this for my soul.
