We took the weekend to ease down, read books, and just relax on Proud Mary. Then on Monday, Laura and Jordan brought Laura's dad out to spend the day with us and we had a nice day on the lake with them. The wind didn't cooperate enough for us to sail, but we did motor around and searched for the mountain goats we keep hearing hang out on the hills above the lake. No luck for us today though!
Jordan once again proved how fearless she is by hopping into the kayak easily and mastering the paddle after just a couple of tries. First I pulled her around the dock with the rope, but soon she was off on her own. That little girl is afraid of nothing! We sent 'Little Turtle' home with them when they left so she can continue practicing when they have their family gathering on Loon Lake over the weekend.
And, of course, Jordie had to feed the waterfowl. I've got two different kinds of geese here, LOTS of ducks, (including two families with babies) and they all know that I've got crackers. They come a flocking when they see me with my sack!
It was very hot, so we hopped in the car and drove up the hill for ice cream before they returned home Jordan looking forward to driving "Grampa Farmer's Four-wheeler. I'm telling you, the girl is fearless!
It was one more wonderful day on the lake. Now this morning we'll be shifting gears as we pack up to drive to Issaquah for a quick visit with Shannon and Parker, then cross on the ferry on Wednesday to mom's for a visit and a small family gathering. We've got a jazz concert to attend on Saturday (fund raiser for
One Nurse At A Time) and we'll stay at Shannon's following it then drive back over the mountain on Sunday and return to the lake. Whew! Lots going on this week!
And the beat goes on.
