| The luckless fisherman |
We had a good nights sleep with the parents waking late and the kids waking earlier and enjoying a decadent breakfast of jam with croissants on the side. There were a lot of activities planned for the day so we had to get moving. The girls were anxious to use the paddleboat and go swimming so we did while Katrina, Dawn and Aidan played Dominion. I tried my hand at fishing after hearing that some nice sized fish were caught right off the dock. Many casts later I had a couple strikes on the lure, enough to keep me casting, but sadly no fish resulted. It would be BBQ, not fish, for dinner tonight. (The BBQ was delicious) After Evan and Jeffery returned from camp, the new water tube was inflated and the kids gave it a maiden usage. We were pulling the tube behind a pontoon boat so the speed was limited but it was enough speed that the kids had fun and even experimented with full-body skiing behind the tube.

Once the sun started to set the whole crew, Wefel's, Smith's, and Dorn's played several rounds of murder. Dawn introduced this game to us during past camping trips and the kids (and adults) enjoy playing it. Once it was fully dark, we took a chance and set off the fireworks we had been hauling around with us for the past month. There is a backstory on the fireworks in that they were intended for Aidan's birthday since setting off fireworks was his birthday wish. Overall it was a fun and busy day.
Tomorrow we should be home.
