Saturday morning. Slow awakenings, coffee, the morning hike to the facilities, and then, a little society. Diana walked over from her camp with Charlotte, who wanted to check out the teepee. Then I walked down to the beach with the two of them before breakfast. Everyone sort of gathered to see what everyone else was doing, then we all split into our little groups. I went kayaking with Grant, Kyria, and Andrea. Cindy came too, but she was into a power paddle, so we didn't see much of her.
 |
| Breakfast |
 |
| Gotta have a little morning fire! It's tradition! |
 |
| Charlotte came to see the teepee. |
 |
| I was showing Charlotte all the little extras, like the hanging light/fan, and when I turned around, she was doing this. |
 |
| Diana hovers outside, looking pretty. |

 |
| Diana, Bryan, and Grant |
 |
| Everyone is back from what ever they were doing, and now we're going to go do our own things again. |
 |
Can't go kayaking without .....cookies!
Saturday afternoon
|
 |
| Kyria and Andrea take off in the Moby Dick |
 |
| And off they go! |
 |
| The ubiquitous duck photograph |
 |
| The geese were gathering from all over the lake to get the food these children were sharing. |

| Duck Crossing |
 |
| After the feast was over |
 |
| Grant doing his thing |
 |
| Back at camp, I went up to visit with Barbara, Dan, and Joy Wilson in Danny's camp space. |
 |
| Joy |
 |
| Then Danny and Joy walked over to our camp space to talk to Grant about the teepee. |
 |
| Jeffery brought the screen tent to provide shade and shelter on the beach. The family gathered there. |
 |
| Jeffery brought along 2 Super-Soakers and shot water at the geese. |
 |
| He also shot water at his mother, but only in retaliation for her getting him first. |
 |
| "Aw, quit your whining". "I wasn't whining!" |
 |
| "Adults can be SUCH children sometimes" |
 |
| Charlotte handed out Tootsie Pops! |
 |
| And then got the use of a Super-Soaker with Aunt Dorothy! |
 |
| Charlotte and Andrea |
 |
| Amy with pooch, Poppy, who absolutely ADORED the water and stayed in until she was totally finished. She swam, bit the splashing water, and just was in heaven. It was fun watching her having so much pleasure. |
 |
| Meanwhile, Charlotte and Feather are having a dig in the mud. |
Dorothy and I rode our bikes down to the boat launch beach so that she could have a swim.
 |
| She did it!!! |
The Haggis
Back at camp, Annette and Edwin brought over the Haggis and the haggis sausages to cook on Grant's big stove (they needed to be boiled). We visited, went back and forth between camps, visited, snacked, and took lots of pictures.

| The Haggis is ready!!! (One wonders, what would be the plural of Haggis? Haggii?) |
The Official Piping In Ceremony for the Haggis
Charlotte led the procession, Bryan played the bagpipes, Annette and Dorothy carried in the Haggii, and Jeffery brought up the rear.
 |
| Jeffery brought the "ham" |
 |
| Through the forest to the Group Area. The other people in the campground enjoyed the ceremony, especially the bagpiping |
 |
| The Presentation of the Haggis |
 |
| Bryan played a while longer, to the enjoyment of many. |

 |
| Here's to another year together! |
 |
| Diana's turn to go kayaking. I offered mine to Edwin, but he wasn't interested. |
 |
| I like the light in this picture. |
 |
| That wake looks suspiciously like it's from a motor. |
 |
| Now we're getting the hang of it! |
 |
| She was raring to go, even rocking back and forth in it in her eagerness. |
 |
| So Daddy took her out for a spin. |
 |
| Charlotte has decided that she greatly prefers swimming to kayaking. |
 |
| Another good light picture |
 |
| Back at camp, Chip Monk guards the Hammer Game for tomorrow morning |
 |
| Family time around the campfire. |

| Bryan brought his giant bubble wands. |
