It's finally time for....OWL COOKIES!
The family recipe for these fall favorites were given to us by our dear friends, The Krahns, with the request that they ONLY be made in the fall...making them even sweeter!!
Trike shmike...
My favorite activity: Pedaling like a madman. I think it's safe to say, I will be rockin' a 2 wheeler next summer!

Beatin' the heat
Oh...I feel really badly for the people who weren't at camp today (or somewhere near the water) it was H-O-T!!! We pretty much spent the rest of the weekend swimming from the dock to the float Uncle Tate put out in the middle of the cove. Even though I had my life jacket on the whole time, I was a little afraid to 'swim'. We haven't taken a swim class since Mom went back to work in November...and this was really the first time the water was warm enough for me to get in the 'deep and swim (I've played in the shallow water near the shore the last couple times I've been at camp). After some time in the water glued to Mom and Dad, I relaxed and had a blast. I *really* had fun on this float--Mom and Dad would motor me around. Later in the day I held on like they did and helped kick to get us out to the float faster. 'Motor boat motor boat go so slow, MB MB go so fast, MB MB STEP ON THE GAS (giggle, laugh, cackle...repeat)
My kayaking adventure
I'm ready for my first kayak adventure. I've been in canoes, rowboats, speedboats and even an open style kayak...but this the whole 'contained' thing is new to me...and Mom and Dad keep warning me that I need to be a bit careful to not "throw my weight around" (whatever that means). Please note, I finally gave in and wore the foolish water shoes Mom bought me at the beginning of the summer. I like my crocks better but they are a 'bit' slippery on the dock. Mom's happy she finally won a battle, but enough about that. 
Like my snazzy sunglasses? Here, I'll get REAL close so you can see they're Thomas the Tank Engine glasses. Cool.
Hmmm...I have to say, kayaking was fun, but I'm not entirely convinced (yet) that it's my thing. Now, if they'd let ME paddle, I'm sure it would be much more fun! I tried to help my using my hands as a rudder, but I almost tipped us over a few times. The cool thing about our adventure was that is was a beautiful morning on the water. Calm, flat and quiet (well, except for me). We saw osprey, loons and some fish jumpin'. Amazingly, we did not roll our kayak (nor did Mom)! 
Camp. A great way to end a vacation....
Which way to fun?
Look for the lobstah and head left...
We arrived at camp at dinner time on Friday night, just in time to throw some steak on the grill. Then Mom had a great idea--we took our dessert (strawberry shortcake with "wick cream") to the dock so we could soak our feet while we ate.
Does it get better than this??? After dessert, I raced to bed b/c I had a full weekend of fun in the sun ahead...
