Winslow's Second Camping Adventure: Day 13

Winslow was a little nervous today...
...the day started off with gray and foreboding skies.


Then it started to sprinkle.
Winslow was glad he found an umbrella nearby!


But eve with the grays...the view was pretty.


Shaniah even made him a little castle on the shores of
Adirondack Lake
just in case he couldn't make it to the beach later.


Having a beach house on another lake 
was a pleasant change of pace for Winslow...


Until he remembered what happened to the 
built on the sand when the storm came, so...

....Winslow went to higher ground...indoors..
At the Indian Lake Theater.

Winslow got to see

 

It was an exciting play put on by the Adirondack Shakespeare Company!
It was lots of fun with great acting and puppets.


Winslow was even able to get his picture with one of the stars of the play:
Mr Beaver!


Winslow gave him a kiss forr all his hard work.


Then they invited the kids to make bracelets.


Winslow wanted to make one too.


Then he remembered he doesn't have any hands 
and let Lissie have his.


By the afternoon, the sky cleared off to a beautiful blue.


So it was off to causeway on Abanakee to do some fishing!


Blue really is becoming on the skies here!


The sunlight shimmering on the waters made a perfect evening sight.


And the blue skies made the lake even bluer


Winslow was amazed at the lengths photographers will go to their photos


But this Osprey was worth it!


The he flew from one nesting platform to the other...


...soaring gracefully...


...and landing



...with amazing precision!'

Then Winslow looked down and saw giants!

Winslow likes the late evening light...


...it makes him look taller!


Then he watched the girlies happily fishing!


He decided not to contemplate if there were any furby eating fish in the lake.


And while the girilies were getting worms nibbled off their hooks...
...they weren't catching any fish.


And while the fish seem to like this selection,
Winslow was glad he was not expected to like it.


But...
Thea was trying to convince Winslow on the merits of eating fake bait.


Winslow hid.

Undaunted Thea offered him a greater selection


He pretended not to see or be seen.


Winslow was about to be fed one worm when suddenly...


...a masked super-hero came to his rescue.


Who was that masked & casted super-hero anyways?

Winslow thanks her from the bottom of his heart!

Winslow's Second Camping Adventure: Day 11

So Winslow started his day off differently today.


It was off to the Indian Lake Movie Theater to see...


"An American Tail: Fievel Goes West"


Free Movie, Free Popcorn and Free Air Conditioning...
What's not to love?!?!

Winslow was happy to learn form the end credits that
James Stewart did the voice of the Sheriff.


Then it was off to explore a little known place in Indian Lake...
the grave of the first settlers of Indian Lake:
Reuben Rist and his Wife.


Winslow followed the trail signs...


Ups the STEEP hillside...


to find their well-tended grave at the summit.


Sadly "Wife" is the only mention of Mrs. Rist name


But it is a beautiful spot...


...with a view of the mountains Winslow has never seen before.


Truly worth the very short steep hike up here!


(Winslow secretly thinks what really killed the 
Rists was the steep walk up the hillside)


Then it was off fishing with Gwyn while the others swam at the beach.


The fish nibbled at Winslow's worms.
But while they enjoyed their meal,
none of them wanted to become the meal.


Winlsow was impressed with the prior 
offerings to the angler gods on the 
power lines above.


Then he went to the beach to see how the other girlies were fairing...


And he came upon another sand compound:
A sand fort in honor of the movie they watched earlier.


He liked his spiffy new flag
and his little lagoon.


He like Watching Thea "swim" 
in a few inches of water.


Gwyn and Thea took the to swings .


The Liss wanted to show Winslow she could kick in the water!
Winslow was impressed...
he couldn't kick if he tried!


Shaniah got a ride on a lifeguard's float.


Then it was to the swings to air dry.


It may have been a very hot day, but the sky was beautiful!!!


Then to wind the day back down again,


Winslow went to the dock to watch the colors fade into night.


Winslow found a patch of moss that reminded him of Ireland...


...and a little boggy area. 
Adirondack is a interesting lake. 
Ant the north end sits floating boggy islands 
kept from running around the lake by a chain.
Every once and a while they have to tow an island back to
its confinement.


Winlslow also watch Thea and Shaniah learn to double-swing.
Pink boots make everything more fun!


He also spied a little piece of wood...


...that expresses nicely feeling for these woods:
