Tuesday, July 04, 2006 Breakfast: Blueberry pancakes & (still) bacon. Not complaining, the bacon was worth its weight. Added orange drink powder to syrup. It finally has flavor! The boys fish while we clean up, pump water & start laundry. No fish. Lunch: grilled cheese with the last of the squashed bread. The boys make their own. We've been rotating cooking & cleaning. They caught on pretty quick that if they didn't cook they had to clean& cooking is a lot easier. The boys are left to do their laundry & bathe while we take a canoe & fish. I caught a nice pike & we decide to keep it for dinner. The boys cooked ramen & the chunky potatoes from the Chicken & Mashed dinner. The boys fished while we did dishes.
They had a good time here. Pushing Ben in the water & throwing things at him, playing games, fishing & goofing around. Nice site. The rock down by the water is a little too steep, very short distance to the latrine. Too easy to heckle the occupant. Dan thought he saw the northern lights at 11pm till we figured out we were seeing the fireworks in Ely.
