Messing About in Boats :)

Thanksgiving Monday: the great feast was preceded by a glorious afternoon on the water. Most of the extended family took to the Bay of Belleisle for a paddle across the water, portage across the marsh, and another paddle down the creek. Beautiful.

Rob, Simone, and Ruth with two classic canoes at the start of the portage.

Dad and Dustin in the pram.

And this is an eight-man search party for a cell phone in a marsh (portage gone wrong). A needle in a haystack? Maybe, but we found it. Eventually someone had to paddle back across the bay and call it from the house, which was also a long shot because there's no cell service in the area, but it rang and we found it:)

The Spoils of Apiculture

So I was up visiting mom and dad, and who should show up but my father-in-law. It was, apparently, time to take the honey from those bees that have been pollinating the property all summer. Here he is smoking the little critters down into the lower tiers so he can remove the honeycomb from the upper ones.

Et voila, the moment we've been waiting for:Let me tell you, that was some goooood honey.

Trio

No pun intended:)
