Regatta Fun

In keeping with the Olympic spirit we all raced in the adult swim events. Here is Chris getting ready to swim.

Minnow races are a highlight of Olympic events. You pick a minnow and the gates open as in a horse race. Kiefer's minnow immediately swam to the finish line for a first place ribbon.

Canoe races demand some more muscle. Oona is in the middle of this canoe to lower the centre of gravity.

Sonja's event had only one other participant, Sarah. Sonja and Sarah have six kids between them and they were on the dock to cheer their mummies on.

This Bullfrog is real. Oona has no fear and loves chasing frogs minnows and centipedes.She always releases her catches. Her dew worms for fishing have become her pets. They reside in my fridge next to the yogurt.

The object of this game is to collect as many styrofoam balls as possible. The most effective method is to stuff as many balls into your bathing suit as you can.

A Sparkling Day

Oona an Kiefer check for rocks as we enter a narrow inlet to anchor at Pomeroy island.

Here's Oona getting the anchor ready as we tag along for a picnic with the day camp kids from Sans Souci.

We walked across to the outside of the island for our picnic and swimming spot.

Where Kiefer sat happily munching while he enjoyed the view.

Whereas Oona jumped in the water immediately for a swim and then spent most of the time catching and releasing tadpoles in the numerous tadpole pools near the shore. A truly sparkling Georgian Bay day in very hot temperatures.
