After a big breakfast of Eggs Benedict (Melissa made hollandaise from scratch), we headed off in the boat to see the lake. Melissa wanted to stop by Saint Mary’s Island where we spent many summers with our cousins as children. Uncle Bob owned the island for years before building the cabins in Canada. The island has been well loved and looked to be in great condition.
After lunch we saw some rocks covered with gulls. Melissa told Dave to hop up and down and see if he could make them all fly at once so she could get some cool pictures. After hopping up and down they gulls didn’t move.
Marla, clearly smarter than the rest of us, grabbed a handful of chips and tossed them in the water. In the blink of an eye the gulls were swooping all around and diving into the water after the food.
This resulted in some cool shots of the gulls grabbing the food.
This gives you some idea of just how cold it is here. Ahhh…. Summer in Northern Minnesota.
