Wednesday, August 19

It was great to hear some new voices from inside the house this morning. Mike and Angela were up early for their coffee. Gwenivere was waking up and Wesley was getting dressed. After a big pancake breakfast everyone but Brenda and Bernie took off on the north trail. The two “B’s” stayed behind to man the store and host any visitors. Meanwhile we trekked up the trail and all was good for a while. About half way through I had to coerce them to keep going. The trail is closing in again and we had to work through some higher grass. There was also a concern over poison ivy. We eventually made it to the north end and turned around for the hike back. It was hot on the trail and we were glad to get back and hose off.

In the afternoon Scott, Angela, Wesley, Gwenivere and I walked to the cove and played around in the water. This was Gweniveres’ first introduction to salt water and swimming. She did fine. Wesley and his dad rowed around in the boat for a while and Angela looked for treasures on the beach. The water is warming up and felt pretty good.

I broke out the electric George Foreman grill and cooked burgers for dinner. Not bad. Wesley finally ate some broccoli and mac and cheese. After dinner they played around outside. Wesley and Gwenivere ran around again and we are all worn out. This will be another early evening.
