Well...these adventures don't just include myself. We were fortunate on our vacation to spend 4 nights at the Vahalla Resort...ok. Better known as Al and Cathys cottage. (He's my Uncle). Mom was under the impression she would be staying in a place "like a house". Anyway, the first night, kids get a mattress, parents get the double bed. Myself and Cathy are in the loft and Uncle Al got suckered into spending the night on the couch with the boys. I head off to bed early, get settled in when a "whoosh" goes by my head and I swear I see a bat...I roll over and try to go to sleep. Cathy comes up, gets to sleep but starts snoring...ugh...so much for sleep. Next day, Uncle Al shows me the bat house outside and Cathy confesses that she too saw the bat but hoped I would not. Whatever! Chances you take in cottaging. Uncle Al also tells me there are 2 snakes living in the loft as well. But thankfully, I never saw one. Speaking never seeing things...ever heard of "no see ems?" Neither had I. Pesky little Black flies that are so small...you are bit before you ever see them. Well everyone had bites, but I was the one affected the most. I was swelled up, itchy and scratchy. Needless to say, it was day 3 before I had a cure for the itch (calamine lotion). For all the moms out there...After bite for kids does NOT work. By the end of the stay at Valhalla, I counted 55+ bites, looked like a see of pink, and was doped on Benadryl. Nice vacation. oh...as we pulled out of Valhalla, the stories abouts bats and snakes were told to my mother! (the picture is proof that she was there)

Pics are great, glad you folks had a good time, it was a very relaxing week for me, busy with the randkids now, but Cathy say's it's been the best summer she's had for a while, will probably have 5 kids at the cottage last weekend in Aug, that should add to her joy!
Al
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. The boys had a great time. Confused me with your "name"! Hope to do it again sometime!
