Raft n' Relax

This weekend was too hot for any serious work, so we opted for some R & R... raft and relax!


Our first day was spent picking up barrels and supplies to build a raft.  It was 33 degrees so we just relaxed in the shade and had a fire that night.

 Last of the palette's burning.

 
 Purple lilac tree is in bloom.

 A calm morning on the lake.  So tranquil.

Supplies for the raft.  We got some used barrels from a local guy who collects them from the hospital... they held laundry detergent and fabric softener.


Chris and Debby started framing the raft....

 ...while I unplugged the kitchen sink.

 Then a team effort to carry the raft to the shore, where we finished putting on the decking.

 Cinder block anchor is ready as I finish the last of the decking.

Chris and Steve swam the raft out to the centre of the bay.

Cody supervised.  :)

 
And Debby finally had her first experience kayaking!

 Cody getting some kayaking lessons, while the others enjoy the raft.

Drive home after a hot and fun weekend.  Exhausted!
