Home sweet home!

We arrived home safe and sound from Hecla Island this afternoon. It felt so good to be home. This is a recap of our time there

Tuesday afternoon we arrived......set up camp only to be attacked by misquotos and horse flies. We soon found ways to avoid the pesky bugs to make our stay more comfortable.

We then headed off to check out the beach and the marina. The kids thought it was so neat that we were on an island and we were surrounded by water.

Tuesday evening Aidan and I headed out for a long bikeride. Little did I know we would bike 15km, but we did. He did great but was pretty tired.

Wensday we spent the day at the beach since we knew it would be the warmest day there!

our 'trees' we created. The sand here reminded me of the sand at the ocean.

Thursday we work up to RAIN and loads of it. It poured.....then let up a bit, I went out for a run and got caught in a downpour.
We decided to go for a drive along the shore and to the town of Hecla and to the store for some treats.
When we arrived home the rain had stopped and we headed out to the marina to do some fishing and exploring.

We soon saw some black clouds brewing and headed back to camp. We were playing games inside the trailer when we heard the rumbling coming across the lake. The hail started and it came fast.

It let up, we headed outside to check for damage on the van and the trailer. We then heard the rumbling again and hail started again, much bigger then the first time.

We do have some hail damage so we will have to make a claim with MPI this week.
Friday was a chilly day so we did some hiking to a lookout tour in hopes the bugs wouldn't be bad.

We then headed to the village to check out some sites

Saturday afternoon we arrived home. It is so good to be home, despite the messy house and piles of laundry. I was back to work with a photoshoot this afternoon and have a busy week ahead of me.
The kids are going through withdrawal but Aidan is off to Bible camp soon and we are headed out camping again in two weeks.
