...1 pileated woodpecker, robins, a toad, plus a mouse and 2 cats living in the house! 

one of the non-mouse-catching cats!

The 4 of us headed to Morin Heights this morning. I went to help set-up the locale for the summer art show, while Kevin took the kids on a few errands. When the got back they caught grasshoppers in the grass until I was ready.

When we got back we piled into the boat and Lisa and Logan arrived just in time to hop in, too. We stopped in the middle of the lake while Darcy took a nap. Cameron, Logan and I went swimming.

Later on Ron stopped at the cottage with his daughter and 2 nieces, one of which was in Cam’s class last year.  I called Cam over to see his friend and Kevin heard Kaitlyn say, “Oh no, I don’t like him.” 

Kevin stifled a giggle and said, “Why is that?” 
“He bugs me!” 
So, Kevin told Kaitlyn to come to him if Cameron gives her any trouble. She seemed satisfied with that and everyone got along.

We had an indoor picnic for supper and watched Back to the Future.

Darcy went for a tube ride today, it was not her 1st time, but it was her 1st time without Mommy!! 


Marina went with her and she had a HUGE SMILE!

Mark took Marina and Cam for a ride in the Skinny Fish. 



Jacob came for a ride in the big boat and he absolutely loved it!
Cameron & Darcy...what ARE they doing?

Marina petted a chipmunk and he ate from my hand. 


We saw the goose, merganser and loon today, plus a raccoon visited during the night.

Perhaps not the smartest thing to do....

Sunday, July 24, 2011: ENOUGH!

CPAC (Charla, Paul, Amelia, Colby), Richard, Peter and Marina for the day.

Sick of the big boats making big waves on the lake! Today a boat with a wake boarder came in near our place and his big waves knocked Cam off his air mattress, then picked him up and rammed him into the cedars on the stone wall. Poor Cam!  Meanwhile I was kayaking with Darcy and Amelia was swimming next to us and I was trying to keep the nose to the waves.

Luckily Cam got over the experience and even went for a tube ride with Colby. It was Colby’s 1st tube ride! Amelia and Marina also went in the tube together.
Kevin came up and helped us close down the art show tonight.
