Day 8 of 14
Sunday, July 10, 2011. We had pancakes and bacon for breakfast and they were great. There is something about a good breakfast that makes you want to lie back down. This was one of those perfect days that make you want to do nothing. We grabbed our sleeping pads and headed for the nice grassy spot at camp. We all had books to read or journals to keep, reels to restring of just plain watch the big white fluffy clouds bounce on the breeze. The temperature might have been 80 degrees and the water was delightful. I finally finished a history book about WW1 that had taken a grueling two weeks to read and picked up an easy summer read about some cats that help solve mysteries in the North Lakes Region. We swam, sipped, and just relaxed. At night the sights and sounds of Moosecamp Lake kept us entertained until very late. It was one of my most memorable vacation days…..ever!
