A Trip to the Green Monarchs

Michael wanted to sleep in a tent and Dad wanted to share this area to see if it would be good for the grand kids, so we loaded the small canoe and a kayak and paddled our way across part of Lake Pend Orielle. Michael got me and all the equipment. I pulled my weight after I figures out how to do the j-stroke.

Skipping stones took up a good part of the evening.

There is a rope swing at this particular beach. This is getting close to sunset.

Where was Stephen to cook the bacon?

Dad's underwater camera is way fun.

We took an early morning swim. The water was surprisingly nice.

Group photo. This will be a great outing for the grandkids. If the boat is running we will tow the canoe and kayaks. There is plenty of room on this beach for the big family tent. The tiny children may need to go home after the evening activities but oh what fun will be had.

Getting ready to paddle home.

This was great photo that Michael took on Johnson Creek where you put in. The water is great.

A baby fawn right on the shore we weren't more than 10 feet from her.

My saurkraut was NASTY. I gave it to the chickens. I couldn't decide what smelled in the kitchen, but it didn't take long to figure out. Dad took one tiny taste and had to spit it out. I will not try again.
