This week my mom, brother, my friend, and I went up to our grandpa’s cottage for three nights. While we were there we did things like fishing, go karting, and things like that.
When we got to the cottage on Monday we unpacked most of our things and then started to set up the hammock we stored in the basement from last year and helped move one of the kayaks that was also in the basement. We did a little bit of fishing using some old rods with some fishing line, a hook, and some worms as bait to catch some fish inside the boat house and near the dock. We didn’t catch too many fish, but we still caught a few. Later, I lounged around a bit on the couch and then we decided to go fishing out on the boat before we had dinner. A few months earlier my mom and I went to Bass Pro Shops and while we were there we bought some fake lures. I attached the lure that I got which was a spoon lure with two hooks at the end, but I didn’t catch anything that night. Then, we headed back to the cottage and had dinner which was rice, beef, fish, and bok choy. Later that night, my friend, brother, and I watched some Top Gear using the HooToo network that we brought along that had some movies and TV series that we could watch. After that, we set up our air mattresses and went to sleep.
The next morning, we woke up a bit early to go fishing. I tried using the fake lure again and that time I caught one fish which was a Perch. The others caught some fish as well and got some people also caught some Bass. When we got back we tried going to Pizza Palace which was a local pizza place near the cottage, but it turns out they were closed that day so we went to a buffet which was also nearby and we ate there and it was pretty good. The buffet didn’t have too many different items there even though it said on a sign that was outside that there were “Over 100 different items” however it didn’t seem like there were over 100 different items. Originally we were planning to go go-karting that day, but we ended up deciding to go the next day. When we got back from eating we tested out the new arrow nooks that our dad had 3D printed using his new 3D printer and they worked all right. I shot a few arrows at a new styrofoam board that we brought. We then figured out you could also throw the arrows if you really wanted to so that was also fun to do. We ended up playing Hide and Seek on the decently sized property which was fun. We went fishing again that night as well, but I didn’t catch anything with the fake lure. That night we also stayed up watching TV shows before we went to sleep.
Most of us slept in the next morning and decided not to go fishing, so when we woke up we decided to go go-karting after eating breakfast. The go karting was fun, but the track was kind of rough and there was still one bump on the track that was there from last year and years before. After go-karting, we had lunch at Pizza Palace where we had some pizza, onion rings, and ice cream floats. After eating we went to Walmart and I got some Pringles, cards, and some erasable pens. When we got back to the cottage we played some card games and then went fishing. This time when we went fishing I used a different lure and I got two fish this time which was better than one or none. I didn’t catch any bass though although the others caught some bass. When we got back we watch a lot of shows and had some snacks before we went to bed.
Today was the day we went back and we started packing in the morning by deflating our air mattresses and packing up chargers and the HooToo network and generally packed everything into the car. We stopped for lunch pretty close to my grandpa’s house at a local restaurant and I had some french toast which was good. We got back at around two o’ clock and got to bring in the bags.
Overall, I had a good time at the cottage and had a lot of fun with my brother and friend doing some random activites at the cottage and also fishing. My brother got to pilot the boat for the first time while he was there which was also fun to watch. If I get the chance I would go back again later this Summer.
