Day Six, July 5th, the big event of the day was climbing Kane Mountain. Elizabeth bagged the peak all by herself. Not once was she picked up or carried on the entire climb. And when she summitted, despite prior reports of unbearable fatigue and an inability to go on, she managed to sprint up the stairs of the fire watch tower.
Curious.
The weather was clear and beautiful and you could see all sorts of thing from the top: twin mountain peaks, an obviously-man-made sand beach on a lake, boats and people and houses and clouds. It was pretty cool.
The deer flies were legion on the summit, which was another good reason to ascend the fire watch tower.
They bite, you know.

| After climbing the mountain, swimming, kayaking, and lounging were definitely in order. |

| Suzanne benefited so much from Connor's tutelage. Plus, she loves him to death. |

| Connor is ready to pilot McKenna to shore. What a helpful lad! |

| The capper to the perfect day: Trivial Pursuit! (Easy for me to say, since I'm awesome at it.) |

| At this particular moment, the deer fliers weren't so bad. |
