Swimming down the river within arms reach of your boat.

Summer fun and swimming are a huge part of our village. The only thing that I can say, is crazy! The water was around 55 degrees and it was around 90 degrees out. I could only make myself get knee deep unlike Ron and Connor and all of the kids here.

Osprey flying back to the nest

While we were floating down the river, we saw an osprey on one side of the river. He was sitting there on a branch just making loud squawking noises. Then as we looked on the other side of the river, we saw the mama at her nest. I was lucky enough to have my camera handy to catch her flying around. This is one of my favorites!

In early August, we were taking a boat ride on the river and Ron happened to spot this porcupine swimming across the wide river. I had never seen a porcupine swim and I have to say that he did pretty good. Anyways, Connor and Gavin had a ball circling around it and then it would bump into the boat, I got tons of pictures of it but this was one of the ones that I really liked.

Stuck in the grass

These two pictures make me laugh because Gavin actually got stuck in this long straw like grass. His shoes got tangled while he followed me and I had to giggle while taking these. He was yelling to me and asking for help. What a cutie!

SILVER SALMON

Connor caught his first silver and Jack this summer. He loved every minute of it and wanted to fish after he caught this salmon. Gavin also caught a huge silver but it broke the line right when we were getting to land it... oh shucks!!!
