Tina wasted no time getting her new kayak wet. Here Sarah watches her paddle into the sunset from her site. Sarah and Carol have the two best sites right on the water, so it is our gathering place.

In the morning Tina and I both took our kayaks out with the dogs. Looking back at Sarah’s site.

We’re going to kayak around the island.

There are geese over there, says Thistle!

And lots of nesting birds. This is a Great Blue Heron on a nest.

Thistle hears the commotion of the rookeries on the island. Very noisy, but couldn’t see much through the foliage.

These Turkey Vultures may have a nest too.

Tomorrow we are renting a pontoon boat so we can all get out on the lake.
