I can't believe we are three days into August! Today Scott and Dad went fishing by Tugboat Island (which I guess isn't really the right Tugboat Island). They caught 10-12 walleye but only kept 4. I woke Scott up at 5am and he did his Bible study then they left around 6. I fell back asleep sometime during his Bible study and didn't wake up again until 7am. I figured I should pray for them and at some point mid-prayer I fell asleep again. I didn't wake up again until 9am. I went in and checked on Nana - she was working on Sunday school material and had no plans so I came back to the camper and toasted a raisin english muffin and did my Bible study. Then I started to work on packing the camper. The guys came back around 10:30am so I didn't get much done. We watched them fillet the fish (Scottie did a really good job), then were going to take the entrails to the island but decided to wait for Ron and Dee. We had a nice cruise and visit on the float boat as we watched for eagles. We only ended up seeing 2 of them but neither came down to eat. We did however see about 10 Magpies. I have a picture but haven't looked to see if it turned out - I will post it later.
After the boat ride, Scott and Dad took naps while I continued to pack/clean the camper. Jason came over and we invited them over for a fish fry/hamburgers down on the beach. They were excited. After that we went to Groves so I could take pictures of their boat and Dad and Scott picked up their tires that had fallen off the dock and rescrewed them back in. I think Ron was delighted. They were expecting company so we got out of there so they could get ready.
After that Scott and I took a kayak ride over to Cedar Lodge. It was really windy and there were a lot of white caps. It was definitely one of the rougher days we have had here but not as rough as past years and especially not as rough as Lake Michigan! We coasted a lot of the way back but had to paddle back into camp because it would have swept us to Deer Trail Bay. Mom had just come out so she and I swam out a ways a couple of times. Then we took our baths and started getting ready for the party.
The party turned out really nice. We had a wonderful time visiting and goofing around. About 9pm we started to hear thunder so we scrambled to get things cleaned up. Scott cleared off the line and we hung our clothes on the porch so hopefully they will be dry when we pack tomorrow. We plan to leave in the afternoon sometime. It's supposed to rain all morning and we have to close up the camper. Maybe God will grace us out as He has the last few days and we can put it away dry. We also have to put the float boat in sometime tomorrow. I was really hoping for one last spin on the kayak and a swim before we leave. We'll see what happens!
