Cooper Lake

Assembly of the Origami Swan was put to by these brothers. It held the usual intrigue.
Waiting in the shade was prudent and they had the best seats for the circus that was unfolding. Horses going down to the water to drink, assembly of above mentioned boat, overloading a boat with gear, kids, wife, and dog and other folks leaving, also with a couple of dogs. 4th of July weekend is a busy place on a body of water.

Brett took a spill off Mom and Dads bed and got some angry looking marks. In spite of that he is a very handsome fellow.

Grant was not waiting for the boats to get in the water. He was in that very cold water for several hours. Good thing it was such a hot day!



This is one of my favorite pictures - I love the reflections.



Nap time?

Victoria was brave to get in the boat with such an inexperienced skipper.

Brian shuttled all the kids and Andrea back to the other side while some of us stayed and provided fresh meat for hungry mosquitoes. Oops, left the skeeter dope on the other side!


Anyone know what kind of flower this is?

Relaxing.....this was definitely taken after we found the deet.

What a fine collection of pictures of the Burgess bunch. Seems to me Victoria is a bit outnumbered! We are looking forward to seeing her soon!

Hope Victoria had fun too even surrounded by 6 boys. He he!
I had heard of your camping trip, so I was glad to see pictures of it.
I don't know that flower, but let's call it a 'bell flower' :-)
