Last One In...

The mercury climbed to 31 degrees today. There wasn't a cloud to be seen.

Guests headed for the lake. As Ben told me, "we swim four times a day." (in between making great horror movies starring The Chickens! These kids are being very creative, and the movie is -- pardon the pun -- a scream.) There's plenty of places to find shade along the shoreline, but shade wasn't on the agenda for the kids crowded onto the water trampoline and raft.

After all, where better to be on a hot end-of-August day than in Lake of Bays!

Corrie, Henry and Tom, taking a slightly more sedate dip would most certainly concur.

Boats headed out from shore as well --the paddle boat was busy. So was Tom's sailboat. Which is not to say that the Muskoka chairs didn't get a workout as well!

By late afternoon, however, the boats were back at the docks, the kids were still in the lake, the bbq's were firing up, the deer had come in to grab some windfall apples . The day was winding down.

But last time I looked, the kids were still in the lake...
