Manitoulin Island - Another great day on Lake Manitou. We started the day in the water, swimming and kayaking (by we I mean the kids). We saw a big raccoon hunting along the shoreline. After breakfast Matt and J went out on the boat with the wake boarders. Matt gave it a try and was doing pretty good until ... the big wipeout - ouch! After that more swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. For lunch we enjoyed a smorgasbord of munchies. Then the kids and I went fishing with Pip, Paul and the kids. Both kids caught some big fish and thoroughly enjoyed fishing. They are looking forward to going again tomorrow. After fishing we jumped off the boat and went for a swim (again by we I mean the kids swam and the adults supervised). I got some great action shots of the kids doing some pretty fancy jumps. When we got back the kids jumped on the trampoline and then the water guns came out. It all started innocently enough until Paul took a direct hit ... This is when it went "sideways"! The war had begun pitting Paul and Zach against the little people. Innocents were used as shields but in the end I have to say the little people were victorious as two of the four were soaked and both adults were totally soaked. Then the rain came, we hid out under the trees for as long as possible then finally went inside. The kids had dinner and then Matt decided that puddle surfing was a great idea and showed off his mad skills. The kids of course followed suit and even in the rain we found some fun. The rain stopped and the sun came out and after trampolining the kids were back in the water again. The boys went fishing and the rest of us enjoyed the peace and serenity of the evening. Until tomorrow ...
