To do list for the summer cottage

Before going to the summer cottage the girls made a list of things they wanted to do there. I think we did them all.
Go fishing. They did, or at least Armando and Daniele did. This year we didn't find any worms for the fishing rod, but they put out a net and a fish trap and got a few small perches and one bream and although they were quite small they grilled them and made a small fish soup and said they tasted delicious. The fishermen were just a little bit afraid of killing the fish they had fished.

Pick blueberries and mushrooms. It had been too dry for mushrooms and most of the blueberries also were very small, but we got enough for a blueberry pie, which also was on the list.

Grill marshmallows. We had a barbeque night one evening grilling sausages, fish and marshmallows.

Go out with the boat. There's a little rowing boat and we sure used it every day.

Swim and go to the sauna. Yes, every day! Carlotta also learnt to jump from the jetty into the water.


Drink hot chocolate with marshellows in the evening. The girls did it.

Play cards. Yes, we did it every day and we also played Yatzy.


Make cinnamon rolls. Sofia had learnt how to make them at the summer camp and we made some one evening. They were yummy!

I could add to the list beautiful sunsets, reading books and magazines and time without internet and I got it!
