We made a couple of trips to Lake Champlain in the last couple of weeks. Our friends Simon & Elise have a family camp there that is very comfy! I went up with the girls for a couple of days - and bought some furniture. So... as luck would have it... David and I HAD to return ALONE after dropping the kids at camp to pick it up. We stayed a couple of days - DARN! The peace and relaxion was supurb! We have had SO much rain in the NorthEast. This shot is for Elise's benefit - the water level has risen at least 12" in the last 10 days alone. Last week that stump was "on the beach". Good thing we tied off the wooden dock sections last week before we left or they would be far far away by now. His metal dock is submerged with at least 3" of water over the top of the deck.
Here I am writing posty cards to all the kids at camp. This is in the main dining area of the camp - the windows look right out on the water. JUST LOVELY!
Here are Hanieka and Grace in the bow of the boat. We were out crusin' and Simon was skiing. What fun - the girls even got to try tubing - LOVED the SPEED!
Elise is courting a little flock of ducklings. Here she is with the kids feeding them "leftover" pancakes. They are getting quite big on her bread rations!
While visiting with the kids - we took the Essex Ferry over to Vermont and visited Burlington for the day - a good time was had by all. LOTS of sailboats on Lake Champlain. It is a beautiful place. Here are Ingrid, Sawyer, Hanieka and Grace on the ferry.
Hold on to those hats kids!!!
