-- The family and I head north for a winter camping trip in a canvas tent. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side, instead, we ended up staying at a buddies cottage, with 75 acres of forest to explore and a nice warm cottage to come back to, we ended up having a great time.
A family spends a few days at a friend's cottage for a winter getaway. Originally planning to camp, they move indoors to avoid a winter thunderstorm. The trip focuses on quality family bonding, featuring snowshoeing, outdoor fire-starting, and cozy indoor activities like watching movies and sharing meals.
I think it's hot.
Just blow on it and have a small sip.
What
are
you
wearing?
Hold on.
There he is.
You like your snowshoes?
Thanks for tuning in.
We've got the family here at a cottage, a friend's place.
We're going to spend a few days here.
We have planned on winter camping,
but a winter thunderstorm is rolling in soon.
It's going to rain and thunderstorm for two days.
So we're not going to camp.
We're going to be in this cottage.
We've already been here one night.
Probably going to stay another two, maybe another one.
