Today after breakfast we rounded up the kayaks and got right on the water. Dad brought three of his boats: the Loon (tandem kayak,) his recently refurbished black boat, and his mighty folding kayak. Uncle John and Aunt Sue jumped in the Loon:
Mom got the folding kayak, Dad grabbed his newer one, and the left me to swim the rest of the way. Pretty tiring work really. Actually, I jest, I borrowed one from the lodge:
We took a short paddle to a nearby bay and setup for a picnic. It was a very leisurely way to spend the late morning and early afternoon. Unfortunately my camera was running low on juice and I'd left my spare battery in my room, so I didn't get a lot of pictures. I actually did have a couple more that I wanted to post today, but the upload time from here seems particularly bad this evening, so I decided to just wait and post pictures later.
I didn't do much while we were picnicking... just worked on my tan. Not sure if I got anywhere with that, but anything would be an improvement over the "white as the driven snow" look that I've been working with all summer. I really should get out more...
Unfortunately on the paddle back to the lodge I managed to cultivate a spectacular headache and spend the hours before dinner just trying to sleep it off. In hindsight I didn't have any coffee or Pepsi all day, so that probably didn't help. There's a lesson to be learned here about the dangers of caffeine addiction... if I figure it out I'll get back to you.
Well, that's about all for now. I hope you are all having a lovely day, and I'll be sure to check in again tomorrow.

Peaceful day, isn't that what a vacation is all about?
Glad you are enjoying yourself, too bad about the headache, I have always avoided a daily caffeine intake for just that reason. Of course earlier this week I heard about a study concluding that drinking coffee (black) has many health benefits.
As for the camera battery life mine seems to be rather freakish, I can actually use my camera for quite a long time even after the low battery light comes on, and it takes a while for it to come on in the first place, I haven't even bothered to get a second set of batteries since I have not needed any.
