We had a productive day but we both ended with sore backs and having flared up our injuries (my elbow and his neck). After our Bible study we washed windows in the cabin and finished the whole porch. Then we decided to have a picnic because it was so beautiful outside. I gathered all of the food and put it in a tub to carry it outside. Scott called me over to help him with the grill. When I came back a noticed a trail of bread crumbs leading from the tub... I was mad, that naughty chippy had crawled into our tub and eaten through the bread bag. He had taken bites out of at least three of the buns. I was not happy. I sanitized everything and set the contaminated buns aside for the ducks.

Scott moved the grill over by the camper so we could guard the food. We had cheese hotdogs with chopped onions. They were fabulous. The wind was blowing so there were no mosquitoes or bugs. It was really nice. After lunch we put together his little portable table that he won at Canoecopia last year. It wasn't as fun because I couldn't figure out the directions and he of course had to keep pointing out when I put something in the wrong place. Why do husbands get so much joy from telling you that you're wrong?! Haha! We got it finished and headed out for a kayak adventure.

We went around the island in about forty minutes, it was pretty windy so not an easy paddle for our first longer excursion. I think it really got Scott's neck and shoulders going. When we got back we laid out for an hour. That was five o'clock. It's so weird how much later the sun is hot up here! I talked to Dad around 8pm and he asked if it was dark yet. I laughed and said no the sun was still at the noon position. He laughed and said I know what time is it gettting dark there? I told him I think around 10:30. But I wasn't really sure because I'm usually asleep before 10pm. 

After that we worked on weeding the beach for about an hour. We both had overdone by that point. 

We decided to memorize a verse so he chose Jeremiah 17:7&8, Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord; for he will be like a tree planted by the water that extends its roots by the stream and will not fear when the heat comes but it's leaves will be green and it will not be anxious in the year of drought cease to yield fruit.
