We set up camp on Bell Lake for the first night. It was raining when we arrived at the access point, and by the time we ate a late lunch and loaded up the canoes, it was pretty much a drizzle left.
There is always lots of eager help for setting up tents and things (on the first day ;) from all the kids.
Gorp! Peanuts, raisins and candy were finally eaten-they were packed so long ago and drooled over for quite some time. ;)
Nathan deterred any helpers and did "his" tent on his own.
With camp set up, the next thing to do was to raise the level of water in the lake...by throwing all the loose rocks on site into the water. I am always surprised when there still are some rocks laying around when we leave!
This kept the kids busy for some time-the younger ones for almost an hour!
And the older ones not quite as long...'cause they noticed Dad missing and had to check out what he was up to.
Melanie caught this little critter on camera. She had to wait quietly for a few minutes 'til he showed himself.
