Happy Birthday Ryan!



Yesterday was Ryan's Birthday. We hiked up to the lake, and even though the wind was blasting and it was slightly raining, we jumped in and did some swimming...after all, it was the first day of summer.



Ryan's request was chicken enchiladas & chili rellenos for Birthday supper, and cheesecake for dessert. So good...

My very first blog Ever!



Ryan and I just returned from our three day 'back-country' camping experience. On Wednesday, we loaded up two canoes with camping gear & doggies, then preceded to paddle across lake Kejimkujik to our very own island. The weather was beautiful--but, the warmth created a see breeze with the lake making it impossible to canoe anywhere on Thursday. But all in all, it was a good time. Ryan even caught a fish!

Below is our campsite. It had a firewood shed, a picnic table, a campfire box, and an outhouse.


...and here are some pics of our island oasis....



Our campsite was #15, and each grid is 1 kilometer. If you click on the map, it will get bigger. We started out from Jakes Landing (upper right of larger map).


All packed up for the trip home....what a wonderful 3 days!
