Camping On Lake Champlain

(Our spot for the week)

HI! Tis a hot and sticky day here in Vermont .......... the smell of corn is floating so strongly through the air that it is as if I have a corn scented candle lit in the house. The air certainly is different here at home than it was last week while we were camping...we had such perfect weather and such a perfect trip. I had never been to Ausable Point, ny before this (Osprey nest ...there are several of them in the campsite)

year, Mom & Dad and my brother and his wife and their friends have camped at this campground for years and they absolutely love it...and now we know why..what a beautiful place....it's truly like staying at the ocean.....the lake itself is very wavey..which makes for fun kayaking (if you are brave.) and beautiful breezy days lounging on the beach! The only bummer on this trip was that Jenna & Ben were hoping to get over and spend the night with us but....Jenna ended up getting called in to work on one of her days off and Ben's parent's came up to visit during her other days......so it didn't work out this time...but there is always next year...........but Kurt and Aneesa were there with us for the whole week and we had such a great time!!!

We did have bear warnings while we were there..which made me a little nervous while sleeping in the tent at night.......I don't think a nylon tent will really protect you from a bear attack...lol................but we were careful with all our food and coolers and never saw even a trace of a bear...

You could walk for 1/2 a mile or more...on a sandbar.....and still the water would not be over your head...of course..you were walking on a sand bar and you really had to pay attention because there were steep drop offs and before you know it..... you would be under water...but as long as you can swim....there was nothing to worry about :)

It was just so nice to hang out and relax and not have a set schedule..we sat around the campfire talking well after dark...then went into the tent and read for a while......(Kurt & Aneesa sailing)

....woke up and had our coffee by the lake....The kids went sailing....we all went swimming and kayaking..ate lots of smores...it was great!!!!

The next time we go....I'm going to have someone follow me around with a camera and take lot's of great pictures of Mark & I! I LOVE taking pictures of my children...can you tell?

Now it's back to work for me...lot's of orders to fill and new creations to get started on...I won't be having any new offerings on the 15th of the month.....I just don't' have the time right now..but I'll have a bunch of new things on September 1st.

Have a great day everyone! D
