I'm Nine Months old and growing and taking on new adventures!

 

We went for a ride and a picnic to Cartwright and Cleland Lake on May 7th. This was my first picnic! We had beans and sandwiches - all fine picnic chow!

This trip was to check and see if the lakes had thawed out so we could come back to camp and fish. The day of our picnic was fairly warm and sunny; but that was the last good weather we would see for the week.

I'm admiring the view at Cleland Lake

Our picnic at Cleland lake. I'm enjoying my canned beans.
After lunch, I went down to the lake to see what I could find.

Me checking out the lake water. A few minutes after this picture, I actually stepped on a slippery log and fell into the lake. My first dunking! Boy was the mud ever gooey, smelly and black. I LOVED it!

Monday saw all of us on the bumpy, windy, nerve shaking road back to Cartwright Lake for my first camping trip. This time Mom gave me some Gravol (Tummy medicine) so I wouldn't get car sick like I did when we went for our picnic.

It was very cold at Cartwright Lake and we actually had snow in the campground the first day of our camping trip. I keep very warm with my thick coat though.

As well as camping - we went fishing. Actually Dad called it boat riding as he was the only one to catch a fish in 4 days! I didn't even get nervous when Dad brought the fish into the boat.!

I took to boat riding just like an old sailor. The first few times I hid, I mean stayed under my blanket to keep warm. After that I sat up and enjoyed watching the birds and all the scenery. The swallows flew so low over the lake that they fascinated me.

This is a picture of us the very first night enjoying a campfire. That was something new for me too.
