4th of July is the one time we know we will be at the cabin at least for a few days, though Wes and I do our best to be there for a week. This year, we decluttered through garage sales and giveaways, and then Dwayne let me drag him on a bunch of paddleboard adventures.
Lake Goss is usually good for some turtle and eagle nest sightings.



We got stupider when we went down to the Langley marina and after following the shoreline down to Sandy Point, neither of us stopped the other from paddling across to Camino Island. And that wasn’t the problem so much as paddling back as the boats sped up and the wind picked up faster. Luckily, we won’t have to do that idiotic adventure again. The next day, we went the other direction up the shoreline and spotted even more eagles and herons than the day before and we were followed back by a curious harbor seal. I love that my SUP makes me look like a massive predator and fish frantically flail to get out of my way.



I’m pretty sure the kids enjoyed themselves as well; I may not have been paying much attention.
