day 4 BWCA August 4

Thursday dawned and we just knew we had to take full advantage. The lake was calm and we had a list of things we wanted to accomplish. 

Meals: breakfast pancakes, lunch a picnic of meat, cheese and crackers and dinner of chicken Alfredo. 

First adventure was Saganaga Falls where we threw rocks into Canada. Next it was the horseshoe island lake swim. All five kids swam for our beach to a rocky island a third of a mile from shore. Katie swam the course twice and her best time was 7:19 for one leg. Lastly, Brad, Nate, Natalie, Katie, Micah and myself canoed to Canada to watch the sunset. On our paddle back to camp, the wind picked up and it was a battle to return to camp. 

We did build a campfire and everyone spent time watching the falling stars in the night sky.
