Today I slept in until about 8:45, took my time getting ready (I have a very sore knee after hiking yesterday), had breakfast (cinnamon rolls, blueberries, milk), and headed out in a kayak. Val's cousins, Val, and I made up the group. We went to Silver Bay, then Val's cousins went back. Val and I went on down the lake to O'Dell Island and checked it out. We also emptied the water out of our kayaks...they get some in them after being out for awhile. We also paddled over to Diver's Rock and enjoyed the lovely views there. Then some stronger winds came and we decided we better head back. So we got in our kayaks and paddled all the way back across the lake to our nice bay. We probably kayaked four or five miles...in pretty big waves and the wind was against us. It was fun, though!! I love kayaking!
We got back, had some lunch (Sloppy Joes, baked beans, and pomegranate-blueberry juice), headed up to Silver Bay to get ice cream (I had Moose Tracks and Brownie Batter topped with hot fudge sauce), looked in the lodge at Silver Bay (large and beautiful), and headed back. It was raining too hard to do anything outside, so everyone just kind of rested and laid low. I did some work on my computer. Before we knew it, it was time to have supper (an egg-and-ham casserole, potato cubes, cucumber salad, juice). Then we headed down to the cottage (down the hill from where we're staying) for dessert (I had a brownie and blueberries...there was also cake and ice cream) and some old home videos/photos (from 1926 to current). We also saw some lovely photos taken by Val's dad. It was nice to socialize with everyone.
Tomorrow, eight people are swimming across the lake, and I am on "lifeguard duty". I have to paddle alongside someone in a kayak, being right there in case they need to rest, etc. I'm due down at the lake at 7:30, so I'll say good night. Sorry there's no photos...have a great day!
