On The Beach ...

Little Island on Lake Koocanusa
Aug. 19, 2011

Pulled the boat up on shore ...

spread the blanket ...

to have our picnic lunch ...

then the kids went into the water for a swim ...

Craig swam out with Grandpa ...

way out there ...

James needed a rest ...

and Ella wanted to play in the sand ...

beautiful, crystal clear water, displaying ripples in the sand ...

Craig needed a rest after his swim ...

James and Ella had some play time with Grandpa ...

and I was enjoying the driftwood ...

scattered on the beach ...

Craig had enough of a rest ...

and went exploring ...

he discovered a fort at the top of the sand hill ...

Grandpa went looking for him and found him at the fort ...

then James & Ella were called to come and see ...

other kids were checking it out as well ...

they all got together ...

 gathered more driftwood to finish the fort ...

(it was inspected by adults to ensure the safety of it )

the kids had so much fun ...

that they really didn't want to leave ...

but we had more fishing to do ...

that sure got their attention ...

they headed down the hill ...

into the boat ...

GONE FISHING AGAIN ...!
