Water sports

Oh my, did we have a wonderful time at the camp (still not comfortable calling it "camp"). The weather was perfect, the company the best and an entire week. A week felt like a long time before we came up. But TIME DO FLY! Gosh, it's like being on a jetski! I want it to be like a rowboat.

So the tornado, The Fisherman, arrived late Thursday evening and guess what, he was up before 5 am Friday to hit the river to go fishing. Well, he is consistent. I am good with that, because then I can get some quiet time in the morning with my cup of coffee on the deck and enjoy the beauty of Lake of the isle. You can't get tired of it. Ever. And you know what, when I sit there, sipping my coffee I take pictures. Tons of pictures. It is my comfort when I go back home to look at them.

Being at the water it is not only about fishing. You can enjoy water sports and that is exactly what we did. Or they did. We should have considered the choice of activity twice. It didn't go so well.

My son used to wakeboard a lot when he was younger. For some reason he thought he was 15 again. Maybe that happens every time he comes "home"? Well, he decided to try some tricks and we ended up at the emergency! His shoulder was dislocated and the pain was unbearable!

Before the doctor and the nurse put the shoulder back to its location, my son got some "juice" and boy did that make him high as a kite! Friday evening my son slept like a baby and fortunately he felt much better next day but with a sling.

This accident did not freak out my daughter, she wanted to try the wakeboard as well. She made it! This was her second time and she did great!

Be careful out there. Maybe fishing is the best sport to do after all...

Can't get tired of this

Our "camp"

Walking down to the lower deck and to the dock gives me such a satisfaction

I am blessed

Yay, she made it!

Bye for now, we will be back soon

Just hanging out

My son is till here, enjoying the place and guess what? The Fisherman came yesterday already! And it is like a tornado when he comes, hahaha! He is an early bird, a really EARLY bird and he talks about the boat, going fishing, eating breakfast before sun rise, go to fill up the gas to the boat and he goes on and on. That's The Fisherman.

A neighbor of ours here on Wellesley Island, explained the feeling he gets when he comes here. It starts at the bridge and as soon as he has crossed it, all the problems are left behind. On the main land. If we all have the same feeling I almost feel sorry for the main land because can you just imagine the weight of problems it has to carry! But I agree, something happens.

We had so many plans when my son came, but we have mostly been hanging out at the house and the dock. But of course we've been to the gym, had lunch in both Clayton and Alex Bay. And if YOU are going to Clayton, go to Bella's !! Best place ever. Great food, the staff is awesome and the view is gorgeous!

The gym in Alex Bay is also great for someone who needs to put in their workouts as my son. Pumping he calls it. Go figure. This gym "Thousand Island Fitness Center" has all the equipment you need and they are not complicated as some gyms have so you don't have to have a PhD to figure out how they work. And it is cheap!

Today, with the tornado in the house aka The Fisherman, there's going to be some boating. We did go on boating with our great neighbors yesterday. But before that, we had some cocktails at our Tiki bar!

He is showing off. I know...
