We celebrated a kind of modified Sibling Day with relatives

Lots of cousins, aunts and nieces in the group, too, including those snapping some of these great photos!

Friends for every generation!

Plus these two furscruffs

We love them

We welcomed friends to the lake! Two for the grownups

And one for the kids

There was joyful synchronized jumping

(Making a splash!)

Paddleboarding under smoky skies

And picnicking on the deck

But wait! The blue skies returned

For these independent kids to SUP in style

Loaded down while cleaning up

A closed trail once, then a closed road on our second try

We finally made it to Foss Mountain!

And its amazing blueberries

The bounty!

This one tells an extra story through reflections

Quite like the old days….he started young

Just lovely 🙂

Equal parts walking and talking

Can you spot both kids in the background? One is more camouflaged than the other!

Roast ’em

Eat ’em

We have had several nights of delightful stand up paddleboarding at sunset

Hazel organized tours of the different areas of our cove (Lily pad tour, Deep tour and Dragonfly tour)

It’s a nice touch that the crew wears matching lifejackets… easy to spot, too!

All aboard!

We realized our goal of hiking to a bald summit with Supey! Black Cap!

Taking in the view

Landry was a hiking pro

It was buggy

And Hazel approved of the Waukeela-style bandana bug hat!

Do we look like we were waiting expectantly?

We were!

We hit the trail at the lovely Pine Barrens this morning. We realized we’d taken a wrong turn in the snow in December

This time we found the scenic view platform! (And Landry brought a piece of Nerds gummy clusters candy to our family selfie…)

We walked past dozens of teeny, tiny, hopping toads. No bigger than Hazel’s fingernails!

Family expedition to Loon Island today!

Two kids in their own boats. Landry was too far ahead to catch a picture. Hazel circled back for this one

Dispatching boats for swimming

Waterbed

Anyone else remember when Landry used to raise an index finger and think it was a thumb?

Inland, at altitude

The kids made up some funny games and gags with these kickboards. Please excuse the potty humor, but Landry called this move “The Toot Trick”

In on the joke

It’s Supey’s birthday! We took her for ice cream!

Most of the rest of the day was on the lake

The kids have started a dragonfly rehab clinic

The water is quite warm
