Wednesday, July 12, 2023 We woke up fairly early (before 7), and made some breakfast (oatmeal). I had some coffee while we slowly made our way out on the lake. We tried fishing by the rock piles on the south side of the lake in an effort to find a walleye or two. We were only able to find smallmouth, but a fair amount of them. The kids enjoyed playing in the water with their hands as we moved around (they can't do that in a fishing boat!). The youngest needed a late morning/early afternoon nap, so the oldest and mom went for a paddle. When they got back and the younger one woke up, we decided to go for another journey and check out the campsite nearby. The kids relayed all the similarities and differences between the two sites. When we came back, we spent some time at the site just relaxing (see picture), cutting wood, and eating dinner. We had a fire again, hung out for a bit until the kids were ready for bed. Mom and Dad also went to bed, as we all were tired by that point. We heard the loons overnight again, they were more active than I had ever heard. MJ (5), woke up in the middle of the night to pee, so he got to see the absolutely stunning BWCA sky. More stars than the planetarium!
