well, we really weren’t camping as we went to Rabbit Lake for the Northwestern Regatta…

the eldest grandson turned eighteen today so we were up early and drove for an hour, arriving just in time for his first race…

watched races, visited with people, dropped the younger boys off at a friend’s where we had a lovely visit before returning to the regatta for his next race…

at the end of race day, seven of us went out to celebrate the big birthday…

had a great time on a patio, then said goodbye to the older boys and headed back to the campground…

now we are in bed looking forward to day two of the regatta…
