We started the afternoon with a trip on the water in some canoes... The kids finding snakes right next to our tents did nothing to ease the Sis-in-laws nervousness.... With some Dutch courage inside her she soon started to forget her worries... As the evening drew on it was time to get a fire going, forgetting my axe it was up to my Dumpster Mutt to chop up the fire wood... One of my nephews took a liking to my Mutt.... Anyone for a dog ? Plenty of food and drink flowing, what more can you want ? Here is a view of the lake... With Bears and Cougars around we instructed our dog to go on night shift guard duty............she had other ideas !!!!! Needless to say the Sis-in-law survived the night and come morning she was a seasoned camper......she was still not sure about the snakes though.....Oh well, can't win them all !!!!!!!!!
