This year we went to Leigh Lake with Shanalee and Josh and their two boys. It was just so nice and relaxing - at least for me. Dad and Josh did all the hauling, packing,
portaging, and setting up. Shanalee and I got to take care of kids. Not much of a break for her, but I thought it was great. Elden had a wonderful time and Clark did well too.
Shanalee hiked in with Clark on her back. Josh hiked in with a pack and David and I canoed in with Elden. Elden sat in front of David and had a great time tying his (David's) shoelaces together on the way. David about fell in the water when he went to step out of the canoe. I really wish I had had my camera! David and Josh set us up a wonderful camp, the weather was great (just a bit cold at night) and we had a good time!
Elden, what big eyes you have.
What a wonderful man I married. He even did most of the cooking! I am soooo spoiled!
Father and son (Josh and Elden) had a great time together for 3 days.
I'm afraid that water is too cold for me.
learning to skip rocks
Josh and Elden weren't the only ones in the water.
Shanalee was prepared for the cold nights with Clark bundled in his bunting. We also took the swing to hang from a tree - the smartest thing we did!
I wasn't the only one with a camera - like mother like daughter. Dad and I didn't pack too well and
all our clothes got wet in the canoe. The clothesline was the first thing set up in camp. Luckily it was a hot day and our PJ's were dry by nighttime.
Enlarge these two pictures to see the colors in them. The sunset/dusk colors were beautiful.

I might have to steal some of your pictures. We all have fun. Josh and I were just talking about how glad we are that we chose to go. It was a break.
