Another beautiful day!  High of 28 degrees!  Took the boat out again in Manitouwabing Lake (no idea if I spelt that right - Holy Cow!)  The girls loved swimming and jumping off the boat.  We did about 5 minutes of fishing (too hot, and not enough patience for that today.  Amber did catch 2 nice perch though!)  The girls just wanted to swim today - with NO life jackets too!  Came home, had supper, went back to town for ice cream and a walk on the beach.  We are home now, gonna do dishes and play cards and games with the girls, then get them in bed.  It's been a long, busy, HOT day.  I think we all will sleep well tonight!!!  It was  a beautiful day to end our holidays (even Georgia went swimming and boating with us too!)

Took the boat out today!  Gorgeous day today (high was 27 Celsius).  Out on lake about 12:30pm - we swam, fished and toured around - great day!  Back about 4:30-5pm for supper.  Roasted marshmallows with the kids then Mark and I played cribbage and went to bed around midnight.

Got more green wood.  Nancy and I to two flea markets.  Mark to town to test the battery. 

NANCY

Well, there was nothing at the garage sale - went to the "Old Ladies" down the road.  Marian bought a kid's book, no big buys today.  Mark and I took kids to the old beach.  John and Marian left around 2pm.  After the beach, we came home and after a little while we went to Foley Fall Fair - not much to see, but the kids had a great time.  Made a snack of french fries, then played games and went to bed.
