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!
