GRANDMOM'S CAMP

Grandmom's Camp this year was at Lake Heron again, and we had the whole side of the lake to ourselves once more (Thank God =)
We had a wonderful time!
During the days Al was working, but joined us after work (it's only 45 mins. from home, thankfully). The weather was great, and the Lake warm - perfect for swimming, diving off the dock etc. The children went non-stop until bedtime, and then were up bright and early in the morning before Grandad left again for work. Our little RV nestled in the trees, taken from the other side of the lake.

Grandad swimming with all four children just before supper.

The fishing was great. Tim caught this is no time at all. (Trying not to look TOO proud =)

They all painted on canvas and each had a nice painting to take home. Owen needed a little encouragement, but liked his in the end.

The boys have become good swimmers, and little Megan with her life vest did everything they did. She's fearless!

They love kayaking, and it's safe on the lake since we could see them wherever they go.

They had quite a lot of freedom and loved every minute of it.

Here's Andrew (not yet 10) coming in at quite a speed. They amaze me how well they can handle the kayaks.
Even Owen at 8 does a great job kayaking, and loves swimmimg and diving.

This is Megan's kayak. What a smile!

S'mores over the campfire.....yummmm

Grandad and the fearless members of the "Polar Bear Club". It's about 6;30 am and they all took the challenge. Wow!
....but not before Grandad got in.

When it was all over I was left with these beautiful "hand-picked" water lilies, a precious gift from Tim, and then not to be outdone, Andrew. I had just the vase in the RV and enjoyed them, and the quiet for the rest of the day.
