yesterday my son-in-law and I came home after supper as he had to work today and I was looking for a quiet day before going back to work…

Sunday started with solo time at the water’s edge…

while we were eating pancakes and bacon one of the Park rangers came by to advise everyone that a momma bear and her two cubs had been spotted nearby and to be sure to clean up their site before heading out for the day… not five minutes later the middle grandson saw them in the campsite across from ours… we jumped into the car, with our breakfast and hollered out the windows to let the other campers know… within a few minutes the bears were gone but it was pretty exciting…

then it was off for a day on the water… we’d found a measuring scale for seeing how long the fish are and took it with us…

sadly, only one of us caught anything and the fish were a bit small, lol…

when we got back to the campsite we made a lovely chicken dinner and said farewell to the three who were remaining…

good drive home, a hot tub with the my oldest grandson and son-in-law and then a sleepover at their house…

Opapiskaw, Sunday…

another beautiful day in paradise…

early this morning I walked down to the beach and got a few great pictures…

in an effort to find a good internet connection I walked down a very narrow trail to get to a spot where there was LTE service…

the trail brought back so many memories… all the years we camped at Falcon and Birds Hill and went on many hikes along trails that were just like this one…

at the end of the trail were some pretty rocks which I clearly am not going to be able to take home, sigh…

there are many poplars here and the sound of the wind blowing through them is also a reminder of camping in Birds Hill with friends…

missing my beloved… he would have loved this…

up early and, after the rather long hike to the bathroom, spent some time at the water’s edge… beautiful view as the fog rolled across the still water and I could hear fish jumping just out of sight…

nice way to start the day… tomorrow I might take a chair down to watch the sunrise…

breakfast made on the campfire, followed by fishing, tubing, wakeboarding and kneeboarding…

in amongst all that I had a boat driving lesson and did quite well…

Labour Day long weekend… last camping trip of the year…

three of us grocery shopped, hooked up the trailer, filled up with gas, and hit the road for Opapiskaw…

when we arrived we set up the trailer and fetched the boat from a friend’s seasonal site… the other two arrived a bit later…

we are now working on supper, doing some relaxing and exploring… a few of us played catch and some went for a walk to check out the water… it was so calm…

hope it is like that when we want to go wakeboarding and kneeboarding tomorrow, lol…

trying to figure out how I can take some of the rocks home, although they are a bit big…

now to walk down by the water so I can post this;-)…
