A Bit Chilly!
The weather the past few days has been a bit chilly. We went for a bike ride last night and there were even piles of leaves on the ground. It made me feel like fall was coming early. And after fall, you know comes next:
LOL. This is a picture of my car after one snowfall during the winter of 98-99. Poor thing!
Campfire Fun
We recently had the opportunity to play with fire and all of us were treated to a nice campfire. There is something so relaxing about sitting by the campfire and the warmth toasting your legs and some marshmallows.
Our son really didn’t care for the flaming marshmallow trick, but mom likes to eat the result.
I tried a few different things with the camera to capture the fire. I took this shot of some embers, which eerily looks like a forest fire.
After this shot, our camera died so I just enjoyed the fire the rest of the night :-)
Lake Superior Dog to the Driftwood Rescue!
Humans aren’t the only ones that enjoy wading/swimming in Lake Superior. Our dog likes it too!
Here he is playing some fetch with a piece of driftwood. You can just smell the wet dog :-)
Our dog isn’t a complete water dog, though. He will only wade in the water and will not swim. But you can tell he enjoys some family fun at the lake.
Swimming in Lake Superior
Today’s picture is again from this past weekend’s adventure at McLain. We decided to walk down the beach heading towards Calumet. I turned around and caught some people “swimming” in the lake and snapped a pic. I say “swimming” because only one person was brave enough to go in the water all of the way LOL.
The lake at McLain was still pretty darn cold, probably due to our cooler summer. At our favorite spots to swim it is a little warmer (Great Sand Bay, Cat Harbor).
Lake Superior Driftwood - Nature’s Work of Art
Our travels over the weekend brought us to McLain State Park. The power of the Lake is clearly visible here with the edges of the park slowly eroding away. You also never know what the waves might wash up on the shore, like this beautiful piece of driftwood.
*sigh* - I want to go back out to the lake!
