On Friday night, August 1st, Kurt and I got out of work, packed up the car and headed up to Nick's Lake in Old Forge to spend the weekend camping with Kurt's mom and dad and the triplets, Laura, Rachel and Rebecca.
Kurt's mom said that it had rained off and on pretty much all week while they had been up there. Later Saturday afternoon it started raining again and we had to put up "tarp city" to protect the tent. The tarps protected our tent and added something "special" to the camp site.
Saturday night Kurt's mom and dad took us all out to dinner and we went for a short ride afterwards, we stopped in this parking lot and made friends with the deer having supper there. The girls had picked crab apples at home and brought them up. I feed these two little deer apples right out of my hand. Later we went up this other rode and Kurt fed a momma deer with twin fawns apples out his hand too. It was so cool!!! They weren't afraid at all.
Saturday morning after we ate breakfast, we went out on the canoe, Kurt tried his hand at fishing and after several attempts, he finally caught a small trout. Kurt said it was only "fish stick' size so he let him go.
We took a break from fishing and rowed back into this cove in the lake and it turned into a small stream. We beached the canoe up on some rocks and walked through the water over the bridge. It was a beautiful view. We had such a great time camping with Kurt's parents, I can't wait for next summer so go back.
