We spent another day with the girls out at the Twin Lakes campground.  It was a lot of fun swimming and playing card games with them.  Amanda had made "the rule" once you start a game you can NOT quit it no matter what ... you had to play all the way through.  Well.... I don't know if you're familiar with the card game Phase 10 ... but after 2 hours of it,  I have to admit, I was feeling about the same as Brooke was. She's sitting at the end of the table... the one sighing ... "are we done yet?"  Playing that game also reminded us how Amanda (our oldest granddaughter, holding the fan of cards) got her nickname from Grandpa ... he calls her Pokey. lol

The kids got me on the bike again.  They were having a pretty good laugh over the matter that the seat mysteriously disappears when I get on it ~ I told them I used to sing alto but now can sing soprano.  Mercy!! They sure do make bike seats smaller than I remember them being.

Even Grandpa Slim got on the bike and made a few loops around the campground :)  Does the law about drinking and driving apply to bicycles?? Put down your beer Grandpa!!

Bailey has finally mastered riding without the training wheels over the weekend.  She was one happy camper.

We went on a few nature walks ...

doing the board walk again

checking an old road bed for berries and mushrooms

we found a nice tree full of service berries

aka. juneberries

Isn't this a pretty little pic of the second lake through the trees:

Our strangest find was this ~

Somebody let their reading glasses laying on a balsam tree branch.  We left them there for some nearsighted bear.

 

Thanks for coming by my blog and spending a little piece of your day with me :)

Until next time ...

So it goes in my neck of the woods.
