beach, big girl pants, campfire, camping, fire, glass, hammock, smokie, vacation, widow

woo hoo…

sitting around the campfire after dinner…


took a while because we had to prepare the cooking utensils…


first, we had to find the correct sticks… and then we had to sharpen them… and get the fire nice and high…

while that was going on, other people were testing out the hammock…


nothing like a smokie cooked on a stick over an open fire… delicious…

then we took an evening walk… the water was like glass at the beach…


dishes done, mosquitoes have won and we are in our tents ready for bed…

the wind is gently moving the leaves on the trees…

feels like we’ve been here for ages… great way to start our family vacation…

drenched…

beach, big girl pants, boat, burn, drenched, tubing

up early and headed to the Gimli area… lots of waves rolling in as we were waiting for the boat to get launched…

  
bit of a sign about the trip along the lake to get to the beach where we met friends…

soaking wet and bounced all the way across… yikes… thought we were going to lose the dog and smallest person a couple of times…

boys tubed while we sat on the beach… a dragonfly sat on my leg for at least a minute…

  
oldest grandson got a bad rope burn on the back of his leg so we had a bit of drama but he is doing much better now…

lunch on the beach and then my daughter and I went out on the tube… what fun:-)…

  
the boys had a wonderful time playing in, on, and around the boat…

  
took the boat back to the launch and got drenched again… daughter laughed most of the way as my face was soaked time and again with spray…  she thought it was hilarious considering how I dislike getting my face wet… 

supper with friends, walk for ice cream and we are heading home after a great day…

  
hoping we beat the storm and don’t get drenched again…
