This weekend was, well hard to describe.

It was the break away that I needed. The cottage was good, a little cold the first few days, but a full 4 days of semi relaxation and a little bit of fun. Had my last waterski and tubing of the yeay today. I can feel the fall coming, but then again...I like the fall up there, its absoulutely gorgeous.

But saturday up there was a little too eventful for me. I will run through it for you. My parents and I were sitting watching a movie that was on tv. We heard a big "boom" and ignored it as just our neighbours doing fireworks or something, how very wrong we were. It continued about 5 more times, and so we went outside to investigate. Our neighbours on one side, had a whole bunch of people over, and they were all getting ready to evacuate. They were sitting on the rocks and heard the loud noises, and then started seeing explosions. We thought maybe a train derailed, and it smelled really bad outside, like chemicals you didnt want to inhale. The flame explosions were scary, and I wasnt sure what was going to happen, all we really needed was for some trees to catch on fire and we'd all be done, cause its so dry up there right now. So about 2 minutes later our neighbours come back, saying they were sent back by the cops and couldnt get off our road. Well, we found out from another neighbour who was a volunteer firefighter, and the news the next day, that what we thought was so much different from what really happened. An RV - motor home...was driving down the hill (that our cottage road is off of)lost control, and smashed into the rock. They pulled out the driver and asked if anyone else was inside, but the driver was so dazed and wasnt sure if anyone else was inside (probably wasnt sure if he could got out). Well shortly after they driver got out, the propane tanks started exploding constantly, right after one another. And well...the passenger actually didnt get out, and died instantly during the first explosion:( On sunday morning when we were off to church the cops and cleanup crew were there cleaning up what was left, and there really wasnt much, lots of ashes, a bit of metal. It was sad and scary, and I dont even really know what else to say. *sigh*

Hope you all had a good weekend!!! Good luck if you start school tomorrow!!!

I will post again...
