Weekend on Detroit Lake

I took my girls out for a boat-camping weekend on Detroit Lake. Couldn't beat the warm temperatures, perfect swimming weather, and our well-protected anchorage.

We had a great time catching salamanders, kayaking, swimming, playing games, relaxing, staying up late watching movies, and trying to sleep!

Miriam found hours of entertainment in making bungee nets to trap us in the boat. ..

The girls caught (and released) dozens of Salamanders, and at one point put a handful on parade for the camera...

On the way out, Miriam piloted us most of the way back to the dock - in her own style of course...
