Today was a day with no plan.
As usual the younger half of the kids were up early and out riding their bikes. The older ones were much slower to get moving.
The kids went swimming in the river, jumped off the boat, attempted to catch minnows (or, I should say: caught one less-than-lively minnow), and skipped stones. Jasmin learned how to drive the dingy.
We had a leisurely boat ride in the big boat around Navy Island. It is a small uninhabited island located just down river from my parent’s home and a few miles above the falls.
In the next photo, you can see the mist of the falls ahead of the boat. It was taken at the tip of the island, just before we turned to head back home. Don’t worry, no emergency rescues were necessary.
A few of the crew members were lulled by the ride in the warm summer sun.
After such a stressful day, the kids lined up to form a “Massage Train” to help relax each other.
At bedtime, my girlfriend from University and her daughters, now living in Texas, came to stay with us for a few days. Ours was their first stop on their Ontario Summer Vacation.
