We arrived home from our time away Sunday evening. Adam was off Monday so we were able to catch up on projects after being gone for a few days. We were invited to a friends’ “bay bunk” on Tuesday so the kids and I were able to continue our time of quiet and reprieve from the weekend. We took a boat ride to a deserted shore and explored. We told the kids whoever found the most useful item would receive $2 (Zeb obviously won with his saw/machete). We spent a few hours exploring the shore and it was a time of peace and beauty. The kids had a blast and found so many useful things, including a raft they built! The water was calm and flat on the way but while we were at the shore, the wind picked up. The ride back was cold and a bit more rough! We came home exhausted but refreshed from time spent in nature with friends.
