big girl pants, boating, camping 2019, camping day 4, drenched, family, Nutimik Lake, rain, skunk, widow

well, the excitement carried on last night… as we were getting ready for bed we almost walked into the kitchen tent where a skunk had taken up residence… we hadn’t taken out the garbage;-)…

it had started raining at 3 pm yesterday afternoon and it didn’t stop until 7:30 this morning… soggy…

I was a bit tentative about going into the tent to make tea when I got up,lol… happily it was gone… I spent the next half hour cleaning up the garbage that was strewn all over…

when everyone else got up we had a lovely breakfast and packed our snack bag before heading down to the boat launch…

we prepped our minnows ahead of time… apparently they should be dried out with salt…

we took a friend of the boys’ and had a great time…

only caught two fish but lots of fun was had… at the end we were fishing from the front of the boat and swimming from the back, lol…

once back at our site, everyone played a game on one of their phones;-)… very unusual as the normal pattern is for everyone to play on their own device…

fun to watch…

supper and a campfire and then early to bed as there were no naps today…

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…
