No better place to nurse. This was taken on our last evening at Priest. It was hard hard hard to leave the water on that beautiful evening. We only left when Loic let it be known that he needed to go to bed.
The woods near the family cabin. My grandparents bought land with a group of friends. Each family built a cabin in "The Thicket" and now, almost 50 years later, one cabin has been sold, two (including ours) are primarily used by the descendants. 
Our friends Jesica and Dennis came to the Lake with their two boys. Loic loved the attention he got from these big boys. And what fun these boys are...
Loic spent lots of quality time on the beach playing. He loves to sit and play with toys and chew on books. We like to say that he devours books. He does.
We saw this young bear soon after arriving to the cabin. We'd been hearing about him. He was lucky to get garbage and dog food from my cousins who stayed at the cabin before us. Actually, we were all a bit nervous (Rafer wasn't, surely) about having a bear around the Thicket so we bought a whistle. But, after seeing the bear, I wasn't so nervous...it was a small guy and we witnessed him running away when he heard kids playing nearby.
