August 6 - Farmers market and library


We slept in thinking that the weather would be bad, but when we finally emerged from the camper it was quite mild. We walked down to the lake for a swim. Only Mike and Rob braved it. To warm up the boys played some attack games around their fort. Today was supposed to be a day off - this meant having to find a library and some conputers. As is always the case - small towns mean small libraries and few computers. The boys had to share resources. Mike often wonders off to read books instead of using the compter. Rocky and I expored the town on foot and we found a wonderfull farmers amrket. I love the way they block off main streets to set up the stalls. I collected Mike and we ate some lovely goats milk cheese and zucchini bread. Looked east we noticed very dark storm clouds over the mountains. We returned to the camper late in the afternoon. We explored the campground a bit and after dinner we cycled down to Apgar village. Mike and Rob wanted to get their Junior Range badges, but the office was closed. We, instead, bought huge ice creams. After skipping pebbles over the lake for a while we realised it was getting dark - rather quickly. We had to hussle to get back to the campground, 2 1/2 miles back along the lakeshore. Rocky had run all the way to Apgar, so we bundled him into the burley on the return journey.
