Views from our camps on the
east coast of North Hero Island
Foreground Lake Champlain,

The little blue camps themselves:
kids left, grownups right. The lawn was positively enormous.

Stand of big trees at lakeside on the lawn |
There were huge, gorgeous willows all over the islands, including this one on the lawn. |
Kids on dock, contemplating
going in...you can't really swim close
to the shore in Lake Champlain
because there are too many weeds.
The water's warm, though,
at least in late August.

Kids boogie boarding in the
lake. That's Butler Island on the left; you can only get there by boat.

Bert and Steve's colorful
kayaks, which they were
kind enough to lend us for
the two weeks.
Megan, who came up from New
York to stay with us
the second week, and Liese
ready to go paddling.
There they go!
And now they're making some
real progress!

And now he's all wet!

Robijn and Steve enjoy "Cubanos,"
real Cuban cigars
mysteriously smuggled into
the United States via Montreal...
Steve can blow perfect smoke
rings.
The kids were MAJORLY impressed.
Megan enjoys spinning on the
old-fashioned tree swing.

afternoon sun.
