big girl pants, boat, campfire, family, fishing, hike, water pump

another lovely day camping…

sadly, last night the water pump went on the boat and we had to paddle for at least a couple of kilometres to get back to the dock…

  
actually a wonderful speed for me as you can see and hear everything as you travel… the sunset was stunning and we got a tow for the last couple of hundred yards… just before dusk set in…

  
ended the evening with s’mores on the campfire…

  
today we went for a hike and the little guys, daddy and I went fishing… first cast and the older one caught a good-sized Jack… while his daddy was filleting it, I caught a smaller one, but it jumped off at the dock… nothing for my son-in-law…

 

for our supper we had steak, lobster, lamb, baked potatoes, mushrooms, salad and Jackfish… we were celebrating the oldest who will turn 15 tomorrow…

 finishing our day with a swim at the beach…
 barely even missed the boat today…
what a wonderful time it has been… thinking about a campfire and sky filled with stars… 

boating…

big girl pants, boating, campfire, fishing

bit tired this morning because we were beside the people who partied till 2 in the morning:-(…

last night there was no internet service so I couldn’t post… this morning my daughter and I got our tea and coffee and walked down to the beach where the service was excellent… better late than never… on our way back my daughter removed the cover so the boat could finish drying out… was left uncovered before we came…

  
after breakfast we packed up and headed out in the boat for some fun with tubing, swimming and fishing…

saw two eagles flying by their nest on the other side of the lake… 

my son-in-law caught a big pickerel, got it onto the back of the boat where it broke the line and jumped back into the water, taking his lucky lure with it… we felt very bad for him…

  
drive the boat slowly for a few miles… then the middle grandson drove with his daddy’s help – much faster…

  
had a lovely dinner of campfire baked potatoes, chicken and corn on the cob all cooked over the fire…

we are now fishing again in lovely calm waters…
