arrived just before noon on this beautiful day…

the borrowed camper was set up and then the boys headed back to the city for the boat…

we got everything organized and the girls went down to the beach… I spent a while in the hammock…


the sky was beautiful… it was lovely and peaceful…


then the guys arrived with the boat and we headed to the water…

we spent hours by the diving rock and had such fun… even the dog was diving…


a little wakeboard demonstration by the oldest and the dad… then back to the campsite for a rest and dinner…


clearly we had a lot of fun… what with all those wet towels and clothes, lol…

we are now sitting at the beach watching a gorgeous sunset…


what a great start to our time here…

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…

what a lovely day… heard a couple of loons as we were having our breakfast and packing our lunch…

sun shone and we spent the whole day on the water…

started with a number of rides on the big tube…

the two little guys practically fly when their daddy tries to dump them off, and there are huge grins on all their faces throughout the process…

the oldest grandson and I had a blast, when I wasn’t screaming, lol… 

picnic on board and we toured around half the lake, admiring the cottages… then we swam off the boat… 

after that, there was wakeboarding action… my daughter, son-in-law, and middle grandson are all naturals… my oldest was very close to getting up but the water was getting a bit choppy…

then it was my turn… they had to lower me into the water once the boots were on my feet…

my daughter got right in with me and helped me get positioned…

tried and tried but couldn’t get up… laughed the whole time though… they moved on to kneeboarding and the three oldest boys in the group had a great time, lol… and were very good at it… 

 travelled home after a fun time…

got the boat docked and headed back to the campsite…

my daughter and I went on little tubes (from our visit to Courtenay, many years ago) at the water by our site… bit breezy so we ended up with rock burns, lol…

made and had supper, which was cooked over the fire once again… and a couple of us are trying to save the fire, while the others went out for supplies, but it isn’t looking good, lol…

hoping you had a special day too…

Rushing River the finale…
