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.

Sunset the first night
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.
Around the backside of the island.
There’s something over there I should get, Mom.
It’s a turtle!
Ok, we’re tired now.
Tina studying the root art.
There goes a snake, swimming fast!
I think it is a Copperhead....yikes!
Tomorrow we are renting a pontoon boat so we can all get out on the lake.
Stuart and Remi got a walk around the campground and then Stuart got to go in swimming to cool down one hot black/gray dog! Remi, said no thank you and passed on the opportunity.
We are still waiting to see if she comes up with two black eyes and a wild story. Carol's awning was already waving in the wind by the time most of the rest of us figured out why the rig had started rocking soooo much! She had some neighbors on her other side that came to rescue her and Dick and Sandy came down to their site as soon as Dick got his awning in. We are thinking that Carol's determination to hang on saved her roof from the awning rolling over the top of her unit. We will find out later. Carol is one tough cookie and obviously has a strong heart still! Both she and Sarah discovered the downside of those beautiful lake side camp site on the water. The wind hit them first coming off the lake!
