Our trusty oarsmen.
("Paddlers" just doesn't have the same ring to it.)
The Blumenbergs.
After a quick lunch it was time to get down to the business of lake exploration. Robb and Matt got the raft pumped up and ready to go and we trussed up the wee ones in life jackets. (Ezekiel is NOT a fan.) We seemed to have a steady headwind both ways and some faulty paddles that kept us going in circles no matter what we did. No, seriously, I don't think rafts are meant for lake excursions.
By much valiant effort, we finally made it to the dock at the other side of the lake and did a little (a very little) bit of swimming. Robb caught a salamander for the kids and Ezekiel was content to stay in the water as long as we would let him.
Hmmm, looks like someone else is up late at night working on their blog. :) Lost Lake looks gorgeous! Love your descriptions too, Jess!
