Chris and Tina (friends of ours) have a cottage on an island on Six Mile Lake. This of course is one of Zaph's favourite places, well anyplace where he can run free and go swimming is a favourite place. Labour Day weekend rolled around and we hadn't made it to the cottage yet, so even though the weather was cool and rainy we headed out. Zaph didn't care --- the water is warm and wet is wet. In case you have already guessed, I love taking pictures of Zaph swimming.

Nothing better than swimming with a stick in your mouth ...

except maybe jumping off the dock so you can grab and stick and swim with it in your mouth

Hope this isn't a "No Wake" zone

A swimming unicorn?

I guess Zaph wasn't waterlogged enough after a long weekend of swimming so on Tuesday it was off to Sauble Beach and Rob & Ellen's cottage. The cottage is in the town of Sauble Beach, two blocks off the water. When we arrived Zaph popped out of the car and started trucking down the road --- he knew where the beach was. We were very mean and called him back --- he had to be patient and wait a bit.

Rob found Zaph a nice stick which Zaph carried as he dragged Ed down to the beach.

A couple were walking down the beach and they stopped to watch Zaph chasing the stick. It didn't take Zaph long to get the fellow to join in the game.

The TR6 was at the cottage (Rob's toy) so Ed and Rob went for a toodle around town.

Tuesday night car show .... unfortunately the sky over the lake look ominous so the cars didn't stay long.
