We did some other things while we were there. Mom and dad asked the people on our road to donate a firework for Sunday night. People came through a little better than that!

So, on Sunday night, Rob and Murray went out to a tiny little island called Magdelena Island and put on a full 30 minute show for the 4 or so boats sitting nearby!

Also: I finished my Fugl Icelandic sweater! Well, I finished it before the weekend, but my mom and sister helped me out big time and installed the zipper (after I *gasp* cut the knitting) so now I have the cardigan I've been wanting for a while! Check it out:
Before the cutting and the zipper went in.
During the surgery. It was very easy to cut...almost too easy. I'm glad it was all sewn up beforehand, because there is no going back.
Oops, I never righted the picture. Oh well, here it is all zipped up! Zipper goes up, zipper goes down!
Happy cardi at a happy cottage. I am happy!Alright! So it was a very good weekend. Ooh, also, we saw a full arc rainbow running strongly from one island to another...actually it landed at the point where we swam to (when we did the "let's swim to the island party, woooo!").
Awesome weekend, and I'm loving the smell of lake on my skin.
