A Mosquitoe's Feast


Summer has been so wonderful already!! We’ve enjoyed the sun in Lethbridge and at the cabin last week. Our whole Van Ee family went to Heritage Lake for 5 nights! Oma and Opa brought lots of yummy food, and we played games and swam. The Lake was perfect! Sand everywhere. Noel and I swam and floated in our turtle. Mommy didn’t know what a horsefly looked like. Now she sure knows. They were buzzing around and quite vicious. There was a huge, gorgeous log cabin that housed us all. Minor problem? It leaked real bad. There were mosquitoes sneaking in everywhere!! Maybe it was the fact that the flush toilet was outside, and the door was opened a million times. Or maybe it was the holes we found in the screens. Mommy and Opa used almost a whole roll of duct tape to seal it up!! The next renters will like the added gray décor. I, Nicolaas slept between Mom and Dad so I think they didn’t have a great sleep the first night. There were mosquitoes buzzing around our head, so most of the night was spent swatting. All of us looked pretty bad a couple days in. I had bites everywhere. Mommy kept me sprayed and creamed up, but I think they like my blood. Poor Noelsters woke up the second morning and Mommy thought he had the chickenpox! He had over 31 bites mostly to the left side of his head! Poor kid. Mommy thought they didn’t like him, but the little vultures proved her wrong! The first night everyone thought it would be too dangerous to light the coils and citronella candels in the cabin... by the 3rd night.. We NEED it!!
I had lots of fun, and I think once we are all laughing about the mosquitoes, we'll go again!

Aren't I a handsome little guy?


Boy this is the life! I could live in a Lake!
