Boating and Whispering

The kids had their first true boating experience last weekend. We launched after the storm cleared Saturday morning, stopped for a picnic lunch and were back home for more lakeside fun in the afternoon.

Our Captain.

Wesley found this mushroom in "the woods" and brought it down to the beach to show it to me. I took lots of pictures of it (and Wes).

Even though I took more pictures of Wes, these are actually the shots I was trying to get (I got a new lense that I was experimenting with).

One of the greatest things about being at the cabin is the plethora of nature lessons. There were a couple turtles near our beach; this painted turtle and a tiny snapper.

Remember all those tiny frogs from the 4th of July?

Now they're big.

And catchable.

Guess what else we learned. Our Jack is a frog whisperer.
