Minnesota Vacation Day 19
We woke up, ate a quick breakfast, and started painting. Tim and I worked from morning until 2PM. Now, our portion of the painting is done. We spent all afternoon swimming. We saw a duck with babies swimming near our shore. Four babies went under our slip, then the mother duck started to make a fuss. Three babies came out! I was so worried that the turtle we've seen ate the duckling, but about 30 seconds later the little guy came streaking out from under the slip. A bit later, we saw a bald eagle swoop down and grab a fish from the lake. It landed on Picnic Island (or Bug Island or Goober Island, if you prefer) and stayed for quite some time. Tim and I took a short canoe ride and got a closer look. Then, we went over to the bay near the railroad tracks and saw what was either a baby beaver, or more likely a muskrat. We came back to fix metts and perogies for dinner. It was a quiet evening of cornhole and sitting outside watching the sunset. Again, we watched Olympic coverage the rest of the evening.
