Day 10: Come As You Are

Annual 'Come As You Are', Hotel Lake Family and Friends Photo. 

The sailing race is over, after-race bbq over, baking for church is over, anniversary potluck is over. Today is for hanging out and relaxing. It was also a day to begin saying farewell as those only staying over the long weekend head home. 



Another amazing morning.

Day 9: Canada Day! Anniversary Potluck

Happy Canada Day!


Cool morning weather, sunshine in the afternoon, to pouring rain just before dinner. 


Today we celebrated Mom and Dad's 55th Anniversary with a potluck. The rains began in the late afternoon so we relocated to the cabin. Cozy time on the couch!













Jeff brings in Dad's flowers for church this morning. 


Mom bakes rum cake and butter tarts for after church refreshments. Yum!






Shaelyn and Abby.








Jeff swims out to chat with Marianne in Puffin II. 




Calvin and Jordan perfect their sword making. Hockey sticks, pool noodles and duct tape. 





Mark chills in the afternoon sun. 





Marianne trying to catch a puff of wind. 

Excuse me, where did this pouring rain come from?
