The weather report was certainly correct. It was a very wet and windy Sunday. It didn't just drizzle. It poured. Buckets. We rested our weary muscles and hunkered down in our tents. The boys played card games that Matthew packed. So glad he did! And the girls did a lot of hairdos. They were overdue for getting brushed and tidied. Melanie got very good at french braids.
Eating under the tarp is awkward. But doable. We don't usually pack Mr. Noodles camping, but because we wanted some variety in our diet, we opted to take the big fat packages.
The rain slowed down by late afternoon. And became an off and on drizzle. We were happy to get out and stretch. A nice change from napping.
We explored the bay by our campsite, seeing how far we could walk around the shore. Going through the moss and bushes would be really wet, so the challenge is to see how far you can go through the rocky open spaces.
Some spots are pretty slippery from all the rain, so it requires a bit of skill.
Eventually we even got a fire going, and burned up our food smelling garbage for the night. We really appreciate that the rain is gone and we can stand up and walk around. The world is so much bigger than a little tent!
We found out later that while we were tucked in our tents there was a canoe that went really close (thought we'd heard voices or something once) and when they saw the site was taken, these guys had to keep slogging through the poring rain to find an empty place.
