While everyone napped we got the boat loaded and food together and we left around 3pm. It was pretty windy and a little rough going out but we made it there without incident. The fire pit was a mess and we couldn’t fit wood in it so Dad and I had to dig it out. It was a good thing I had my blade with me or we would still be there trying to clear it out. :) Dad and Gene cooked the fish and we had walleye in the fresh air.
The wind died down but there was still enough of a breeze that the bugs mostly left us alone. We had a great time visiting and laughing and taking pictures. Matt and Scott L went all the way around the island. Jeane, Nathan, and Zane followed them a little later.
Zane had his first smore - that was the first time he’d ever had chocolate or marshmellows. He really liked it. Jeane asked him for a bite and he told her that she should make one.
One the way back, Nathan was driving the float boat when we noticed activity in the eagle’s nest on the northwest side of Paradise. It turned out that a cabin on the north shore had put out some entrails and there were eagles feeding on it. Matt got some great shots! I hadn’t brought my camera but it was still a fabulous site to behold.
When we got back Gene, Mom, Janet and I played Hearts. I had never played it before so we played a hand open face so that I could learn. I got by butt kicked!! We played to rounds of it. I at least did a little better the second round.
