June 16 - Out on the lake

The first business of the day was introducing Rocky to the lake. We tried to get him to plunge in after treats but even that was too much to ask for. He hates water! There is a lodge near our campground. It has a wonderful porch with comfortable chairs overlooking the lake and mountains. While I was trying to lock on to internet, with no success, the boys investigated the marina. We decided that a trip out on the lake in a paddleboat would be good fun. Once out in the middle of the lake it seemed like a swim was necessary. Mike was the first to plunge in – when he resurfaced his expression was one of shock – the water was freezing. Rob made the plunge in twice while Ant and I did not even attempt it. We had fun landing the paddleboat on a sandy beach on the other side of the lake.
Everywhere you look people are fishing. We started hankering after fish and chips, so we decided that we would eat at the lodge in the evening. Once seated, we discovered that they only serve chips at lunchtime. We had a lovely meal only to have it ruined by the over sized and over sweetened desserts they serve. Mike and I finished the laundry by 11pm and crawled into warm beds. This cold is so intense!
