Walden Island - Day 43 to 47

Catching up:

We had a 'work party' up at the lake to get the boat house started. The guys did a lot of work! THANK YOU - Chad, Cousin, Chris & Jason!!! I did some work too, but not much. : )

We brought up stuff to make Kylah & Kallie a little sandbox to play in.

what do you think she's thinking about?? hehehe...I asked Kallie to 'cheese me' and this is the face!

Jamie went up to the lake on Mother's Day weekend to start the boat house. Neil (our neighbor and who we are sharing the boat house with) and Jamie dug the holes and got the pilings in.

how it looked with the pilings in Jamie driving in one of the pilings - they all got to take turns : )

all in

Kylah wanted to go for a walk in the 'forest'. We didn't end up going the way she wanted and then she got poked by a sticker bush so I had to carry her back to the shed. I did get a couple of pictures before tho...

then I took some pictures later...after the ouwie was better

dinner time!

We did get to get to play a bit on Sunday. Chad, Cousin & Leah went out for a while on the wave runners. Then Chris & Kris went out while Jamie and I went in the boat.

'the garage' was built!

we now have a real bed - and I brought up my new, cute table

There was a Celebration of Life for Lorraine on Sunday. Lorraine has been on the island for years - her daughter KC lives in the yellow house in front of us and they all live on the island full-time. Lorraine was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in February and passed, in her sleep, with her family and on her island, in May. She said that no one was to wear black or show up on the island in funeral clothes - she will be missed by family and friends.

Jamie and I stayed until Monday afternoon, we still had a few things left to finish. Hopefully we'll be headed back up there this coming weekend!
