"Bill's Cottage".. home away from home

Every summer since I was a little girl we would pack up the station wagon with our coolers, bags, sleeping bags, pillows, chilren, dog, boat and beer and make the long 4 hour drive north to "Bill's Cottage".
Bill's Cottage isn't your typical cottage. There's NO electricity, NO running water, and NO toilet. Just big rocks, a generator and love.
Once you arrive there's a routine.
* Dad has a beer, turn on outside propane, turn on fridge, open windows, unpack belongings from car, prep the indoor JOHNNY ON THE SPOT, hop in your suit and hit the frigid ice cold LAKE HURON. It's fantastic!!
Of course every year now that we are older, the routine changes. We (Matt and Jenni) have the beer, usually swim first, then unpack everything.
Our time spent at the cottage is so realxing. Listening to the waves crash against the rocks, boats in the distance, seagulls, catching crayfish, looking for toads, frogs, and snakes.
Fishing off the rocks with dad. Painting rocks with mom.
Watching Dad and Bill fix things and laughing when it doesn't work ( cement in the lake...Squirt)
Lion's Head fireworks, sand castle competition, and Marina.
Glass bottom boat to Flower Pot Island, Colonel Clarkes, Sandy Beach, Going for walks, BATS, POSION IVY, Sunsets, J.C. Canucks, The Cat's Meow, Collecting rocks (what's this look like?)
Spending time with friends, family, and nature.
I am fortunate to have this special place I call HOME AWAY FROM HOME!
Thank you Bill for all the wonderful memories and fun times the CRAZY CAMERONS have enjoyed up north at BILL'S COTTAGE !!
