Another Nice Day On The Lake

Monday started out nice and quiet for Todd and I, it was a Civic Holiday here in Ontario and neither of us had to go into work.  Todd made us a great breakfast (eggs, toast and homefries), and we planned to lay low since the forecast was calling for sun and about 30c.  That was until my friends Tracey and Terri called us and invited us out to Terri's trailer on White Lake.  So I dropped my stitching and off we went!

Some old house boats stranded on the shores of the lake

Out on the lakeshore the temperatures were actually fantastic with the breeze off of the lake.  I of course was armed with my camera!

We started out the afternoon with one attempt at waterskiing, and that was Todd.  He got up on the first try (he had tried it once in his teens), and stayed up for quite a bit.  But the water was too rough for him to get back up and none of us was willing to give it a go.

So we headed back into shore and broke out the tube to try out tubing ... a first for Todd and I.  Tubing is a riot!  I was laughing the whole time!  I do think that between the rollercoasters and tubing I need a trip to the Chiropractor!!!

 Ed, Tracey's husband, we almost managed to throw him!

Todd, not looking like he's having fun but I can assure you he did, I just didn't manage to get a picture of the big grin on his face earlier!

Yes, I have my own tackle box... don't you?

Tracey and her husband had to head out late afternoon and once we all had a go at tubing, John, Terri's husband took Todd and I out fishing.  Todd was the only one to catch anything!  I think after a week of very hot days the fish just weren't interested.

 Todd doing what he loves most.  I spend a lot of the summer off stitching with friend, Todd spends it out on the water fishing.

If you're bored of my summer adventures don't worry, I've got another stitching post coming up for you soon!
