Day 4 of 5
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 Ross and I were the first up once again. Wonderful day - rain, rain, rain...and cold. After my parents woke up, the four of us sat under the tarp to enjoy some coffee and hot chocolate and watched it rain. We could hear the boys playing in the tent and they yelled out that they weren't coming out 'til the rain stopped. Probably a good thing as Tylers cold has gotten worse. So we gathered whatever dry wood we could find and started a fire to help keep us warm. It stopped raining long enough for the boys to come out of hiding and have some breakfast. We spent most of the day fishing, drying under the tarp or warming by the fire. Ross and I took Kaleb with us to Beartrap Lake (not a person there) and Tyler went with Grandma and Grandpa for some more fishing. We all met up for a dinner of fish and some soup and cache bread. It finally stopped raining, so my dad headed off with the boys to explore a nearby island and just paddle around the lake a bit. We've decided to break camp early tomorrow as there are more storms on the way. We all packed up what we could and had a little snack before heading off to our tents for the night. Cold one tonight - forecast is calling for 33-35 degrees with more rain.
