To The Lake Shore

It's a gorgeous sunny day today...and may even hit the 80's! We're off to the lake shore....a cute 'n cozy lake camp (cabin) that we have access to for the next couple of weeks. Turns out it's right around the corner from us....less than 2 miles away. Yet it feels very remote and wonderful! The children can ride their bikes over while I haul the stuff. There's a wide-bottom canoe with wooden paddles and a bright yellow paddle boat that the kiddos have been cruising around in....over to a small island where a bald eagle is nesting!....and calling out to the loons that dive under and pop up all around the boats. Of course, I've mostly enjoyed taking in the deck action, redecorating the inside of the little camp (sorry, can't resist!), and cranking up the wood stove in the evenings. What a treat....and great way to bring in the Fall! : D

Gone Fishin'!

Daddy also rigged up a rope swing to launch out over the water....

The deck and screened in porch above. Christmas lights glow in the evenings inside the porch. I also brought over the citronella candles to light up the deck....and ward off the occasional mosquito....

Burgers are served! : D
