The house is back together, I went to Burlington to see my mom so now it's time to take a couple of days off. And what better place than Rob & Ellen's cottage at Sauble Beach. We're really lucky to have friends that are OK with us inviting ourselves up to their cottage.

Happy boy at the cottage.

When I was in Burlington, I purchased a croquet set. I've been wanting one for awhile and Costco had them on sale. The croquet set came to the cottage.

Zaph really liked the croquet balls. He was put on a leash to prevent the balls from wandering off the playing field.

Not sure how he did it, but Rob was a couple of wickets behind the leader (Ellen) but he managed to win. If only Ellen hadn't gotten stuck in the mud. The playing field added some extra challenges to the game --- slopes, mud and trees and tree roots.

Pouting boy, he didn't get to have the croquet balls.

That cat's not going to attack me, is she? Rob and Ellen are cat sitting their daughter's four cats. Cashmere, the deaf one (in the photo), had no fear when it came to Zaph. Little Whinney, the tiny Persian, hissed at Zaph and scared him. Ebony and Sosa walked around Zaph cautiously.

This evenings car show was washed out, only a few brave souls brought their cars to the beach. Luckily the rain stopped in time for fireworks. Not sure why Sauble Beach chose the 30th for their Canada Day fireworks but it does mean we can go to one of the other local towns for their fireworks display tomorrow evening.
