Canada

We came to Canada almost ten months ago. The last holiday was our first summer. Camping, and renting a cottage are so such popular activities so we decided to rent a cottage for a few days. This experience could be something different and enjoyable for us and our children.

We went to the cottage with our friends. The house was beautiful and big. Rooms were clean and tidy. We liked it very much. The lake’s water was very clear. The house’s landscape was like a postcard. There were big trees, little animals, and fresh air. The weather was very good during those three days and there weren’t any mosquitoes.

We went out for a walk together. I rode in a canoe with my husband. Our kids swam, played with the sand and they did many other activities. They had so much fun. Our friends prepared delicious meals and the meats were very good. When the children slept, the mothers had a good time. We talked a lot, and we played Uno. We had a good time together.

This holiday was refreshing for me. Three days later, we came back to our home. The short trip was very good and relaxing. I like village life and village houses. When I grow old, I would like to live in a village. Maybe, we can go once again next year.
