For the second weekend of our trip, we went up north to my husband's cabin, which he owns with together with a group of his friends. We were there for 5 nights and 6 days. We spent time with his friends and their families (10 of us total) for the first half and his parents came and joined up for the second half.
The weather was picture perfect! We enjoyed canoeing, playing in the water, fishing, walking in the woods, and just hanging out. Pineapple was happy crawling around the cabin and going up and down the stairs. She was watching the two older girls so intensely, as if she was trying to figure out if she could do what they were doing. When they were doing somersaults, I helped her do the same. She liked it a lot and giggled so much!
It took a while for Pineapple to get used to wearing a life jacket and sitting with me in a canoe. Once I showed her that she could touch the water, she started reaching over the side and watching how she could make waves. Playing in the water wasn't very comfortable for her at first, either. She clung to my legs very tight. I put her in the water for a little bit at first, and then a little longer the next time. On the last day while my husband was busy fishing for dinner, Pineapple didn't mind sitting in the water together with her grandma. She enjoyed playing with some rocks that we collected for her and slapping the water with her hands.
2週目の週末は、旦那が友達何人かと一緒に所有するキャビンがある北部へ行って来ました。そこに５泊６日し、前半は友達とその家族（合計で１０人）と過ごし、後半は旦那の両親が遊びに来ました。
天気は最高でした！カヌーを漕いだり、水の中であそんだり、釣りをしたり、森の中を散歩したり、のんびりしたりしました。パイナップルはキャビン中をハイハイしてまわったり、階段の上り下りするのが楽しかったようです。娘は年上の女の子２人がしている事を自分も出来るか考えているかのように、ずいぶん熱心に見ていました。２人がでんぐり返しをしていた時には、娘にもやらせてあげました。とても面白かったようで、大笑いでした！
娘は始めライフジャケットを来て、カヌ−に私と一緒に座るのに慣れるまで少し時間がかかりました。水を触れると言う事を見せてあげたら、脇に寄って来て自分で波が作れるのを見始めました。水の中で遊ぶのも最初は怖がっていたようで、私の足にしがみついていました。最初は少しだけ水にいれてあげ、だんだんとその時間を長くしていきました。最後の日に旦那が夕食のための魚を釣っていた時は、おばあちゃんと水の中に座っていても大丈夫でした。集めてあげた石で遊んだり、手で水をパシャパシャするのが楽しかったようです。
