LABOUR DAY WEEKEND ON LAKE HURON AND THE ST. CLAIR RIVER

 
Our son Curt had friends overnight on the island
so...........
Joe and I had to find a place to go...........
 
We spent Saturday and Sunday with
Ken and Devonna at their home
on Lake Huron
 
Devonna and Joe relaxing in the blue rocking chairs
 
Back and forth
Back and forth
 
A bike ride then a rest on the beach
 
They pulled and pulled the cord to get the motor going
Finally!!
 
The wind came up
Down came the unbrella
 
A hat
Sunglasses
Bathing suit
 A pail..... sand and water
Perfect!
 
 
 
 
 
Oh boy
Oh boy
Oh boy
 
Ray...... his brother and Curt were out fishing on the river this morning
 
Two freighters from the same company passing in front of the cottage
The ships saluted
 
Fall is coming
 
Gwendolyn and Tucker cooling off!
 
Looking for stones
 
You can always count on Gwennie to be right there
 
Ah...........
LIFE IS GOOD
 
AND
 
Take time to smell the flowers
 
One of our five resident frogs
 
Too bad I can't take this plant out to Lyndsay
 
Finally a fish!!!
Caught off the dock this afternoon
 
This is your lucky day fishy
Swim away
See.....what do I tell you
Gwennie has to be right where the action is!!!!!!!!!
 
WHAT????????
Another fish
 
This one wasn't so lucky
It swallowed the worm
It swallowed the hook
Curt could not get it out
 
There's Joe!!!!!!!!
 
Curt and I worked on a garden
We emptied the pots and planted the lavender in the ground
Curt also took out the pump for winterizing
We used the pump to get water out of the river to water the gardens
 
The difference between something being noisy
and
 
Something being quiet
 
Joe hung the Bunkie sign
 
Our Stephanie painted the sign
The boy brought it from Arizona
Good job Steph!
 
WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND
