last night, after our supper, cooked on the fire, we had s’mores… we used chocolate covered cookies and smooshed the marshmallow between two of them… yummy… couldn’t get a photo because it was dark…

today the sky was very interesting… this is the view I had when I woke up…


the dog and I took a short walk and got this picture…


up early again, but everyone else got up too, and we went fishing…


the sky was foggy or misty or smoky, we couldn’t decide which…



got a fun shot of some of the boats in the marina…


later in the day finally got a nice picture of one of the many loons we saw throughout our time in the boat…


there was lots of tubing fun..

wonderful day…

sounds…

thought about our vacation and what were the most special moments for me…

three things came to me… the mesmerizing sound of the loons on the water…


it is such a haunting and amazingly beautiful sound…

the second sound that stood out for me was the rustling of the birch tree leaves… it often sounded like a gentle rain…


and finally, the sound of water rushing up into my face when I was trying to stand up on the wakeboard…


all water sounds, lol…

camping, day 8…

another day in paradise…

about 12:30 am my grandson came and woke me… we went out and looked at the stars… saw the space station going over and the Milky Way…

took a while to get to sleep after that because I was so pumped… tonight we have removed a portion of the tent cover so I will be able to watch them from the comfort of my bed;-)…


we slept in after that and didn’t get up until 8:45, when the groundskeepers decided to start mowing the grass in the campground…

saw the ducks at the beach and my grandson took a few pictures… so I got one of him…


I had cereal for breakfast but everyone else had s’more cakes, ie. pancakes with Reece’s spread and roasted marshmallows… very popular…


and then the loon started calling… close to us… and there it was in the water just off our site…


so pleased with the pictures… this was the very first one…


on the water again in the boat, and today I had fun on the tube with the oldest grandson and then all on my own… going very slowly, lol…

friends joined us and the kids had a blast with all the water toys…



great fun for everyone…

tonight after a supper of perogies, onion, bacon, cauliflower and pea pods got this lovely shot of the sun as it was setting…


every evening the sunsets have been beautiful… the weather has been excellent which certainly helps make the time enjoyable…
