This Past Summer --old but Good

I get a laugh out of our trips we have every intent on going and having a good  camping trip all together but usually it works out that Nate never gets to go. Anyway that makes for very interesting trips for me and the kids this trip is with good friends and makes them even better----because at night when the Loons are going crazy and the Mergansers are making racket, I "sleep" a little better knowing someone else is on the island with the kids and myself. Nate took all of our stuff and Noelle over to our island and then came out and went to our hearing for our variance on our addition with Noelle while Caleb and I went to meet my parents in Keene to pick up Madison from her week long stay with my folks in Maine. The next day we all paddled out to the island and enjoyed our stay of swimming exploring and Nate paddled pack out and went to work then we spent a couple of days and Nate paddled back in got us helped break down camp and paddle us out as a stormed rolled in. These are the pics as the storm rolls in. Caleb fell asleep on top of the dry bags, Noelle laid down between my legs and fell asleep and we finally made it out with out the lighting hitting us too!!!! The waves were rocking and rolling us, even Mya fell asleep in the front of Anette paddling.
