Saturday and Sunday, September 21-22, 2019
Maman was working on Saturday so the Bowman boys decided to come
up to the cottage to go tubing (last chance) and fishing. Their visit started with a campfire lunch (Papa
tried hard to get a fire starter kit to work but found that matches were a lot
better). Yummy sausages and s’mores. Then tubing – the water was getting cold
but they went for a long ride, switching tubers behind the boat. Then a game,
some popcorn (Grandpa popped it over the propane burner). It was warm enough for an outdoor dinner on
the deck, followed by one of Grandpa’s Chatter the Red Squirrel stories.
Early the next morning the boys went down to the dock with
Barbara to watch the sun rise. It was cloudy but the bright colours showed them
where it was. After breakfast more
fishing and more games with Papa. Sam
showed his two “friends” he made at school.
David had his too.
