Once we set off it was quite nice. The water was in it's glassy stage and it wasnt getting too dark yet. Kyle and I argued back and forth (playfully) about his steering skills. At first we zig-zagged a little, and he blamed it on me. Acted as if he was doing all the work. Didnt see why I should be able to switch sides whenever I felt like it. I explained that the person steering is supposed to pay attention and make it work no matter what I did. As we got closer I said- "you're finally getting the hang of steering" and he said "YOUR'E finally getting the hand of it" classic Kyle come back. Just repeats what I say to him back to me, blah blah blah blah.

By the time we got set up it was dark. It wasnt dark while we were setting up which was nice, and also because i had come over earlier in the day to set up our tent. Kyle went through the forest to find firewood. A lady drove up on her quad thing and told us we had to buy it because they didnt want us to disturb nature. So we did. We later noted that she was the one disturbing nature driving loudly through the dark with her bright light while there were at least five deer in the field across form where we were camping. It was rather bizarre actually. They wandered out there at dusk and then just stood still in the dark. Is that how they sleep?

Kyle impressed me with his fire making skills. We sat and drank pop and ate a few snacks in front of the fire and just talked. It was nice. We went for a very brief walk along the beach and looked for stars. There werent many. He gets easily bored as you all know, so we went back to the tent and read for a while and went to bed.

Sleeping in didnt happen. It was too bright and loud with the birds chirpping and such. We lazed around in the morning reading and eating trail mix. We made our own trail mix. We went and bought all the stuff we wanted to put in it in bulk and just mixed it together. It was probably half chocolate and half nuts but it was good. I personally feel that they dont put enough chocolate in the already made ones.We went for walks and explored the island. Did you know there's a little lake thing there? I didnt. It was covered in lily pads and you couldnt really get very close it to it. But its there and we walked to it. For lunch we canoed over to the dingy dock pub on Protection. That was fun. I got blackened halibut in a sandwich which was very good and Kyle got fish and chips- also good. We shared and then we had to of course get sex in a dingy for dessert and it was delicious.

After we got back Kyle said he didnt want to go swimming. I was a little disappointed. It wasnt the nicest of days but it was warm and muggy. I didnt want to go by myself though. We went back to our campsite and Kyle read while I had a nap.

After that we packed up and went home. Just in time for it to rain too. It was nice to do that together. Just so you all know, I have been working on this post for a few weeks. I'll do a little and then have to get off so I save it and do more next time, etc until its done. What can I say? Im busy and when Adriel is entertained or sleeping there's other less fun things I need to do, like clean, or get things organized for primary... I know there's no excuse. Everyone's busy.
