Saturday - Day to Play!

This is the last full day and night here for the boys and I.  Lucy stays with Bryan.  We are hoping that they will be home no more than a week after we get there.  It will be a busy week with school starting, but we always miss them lots.  I am awake early thinking of last minute things that need to get done and things that I'd like to do on our last day.  I think the most daunting task will be the cleaning of the boys' room!  It is always nice to start fresh each year but there are lots of Lego pieces, shells, and other small stuff scattered everywhere...

I am hoping that Garett can take one more spin in his Zodiac.  It used to be Bryan's when he was little and Papa fixed it up really nice for him this year.  Has an outboard on it that he is able to start and run on his own.  We are also having friends over for dinner.  They have 4 kids and it is always nice to get them all together.  I think the crew is excited for the dinner as well.  They are in need of some distractions and socializing with all of this down time.  It is always better to be fishing than not out here - especially in August!

It should be a nice day weather wise too.  We had quite a stormy day yesterday.  Everyone just kind of hunkered down and tried to stay warm.  I don't think any of us got much sleep either that night because of the wind.  Our cabins were definitely rocking!  The buildings here are built on top of pilings.  This is because of the freeze and thaw pattern that the ground goes through each year.  So, because of this, if you get a good wind, it literally will shake the house making it feel like an earthquake.  Adam said he kept waiting for their cabin to be ripped right off the pilings and tossed into bushes behind them.  Garett had to sleep on the couch.  Bryan and I were up and down.  No damage was done however and the sky and water are calm this morning.

Judy and Leon get home this afternoon from their trip.  Leon will fly out tomorrow and we'll fly into town on the plane he gets out of.  Short hello and goodbye with Papa which is sad.  I know he is eager to get back out here though.  The boys will be glad to spend a few days with Nana.  We always have fun at their house in town.

After we leave the guys concentrate on winterizing the camp and getting all of the gear out of the water - anchors, bouys (OK I can't figure out this spelling - sorry), and lines.  They have already started on some of the stuff in camp.  The boats also need to be winterized and they are stored in our Boat House down the beach.

The internet has been really slow for a few weeks now and I am unable to post any pictures.   When I get back to civilization, I will do more posts about the things we've done lately and include pictures.

OK, time to start our last day!  Just think, tomorrow I can take a shower  ;D
