Day trips, Elena, Pontoon sights

Lots of activity on this Sunday. After breakfast, Kyle and John went to Stout's Lodge for a croquet match. It's an annual event and we were glad they managed a couple of days at the lake before Stout's.

Here's Kyle in her "whites" for the croquet match. As Kyle and John left for Stout's at Red Cedar Lake, Peggy went to Minneapolis for a baby shower for Libby and her new daughter, Elena.  Bob enjoyed a quiet Sunday by himself.

Liz came to the shower too.
Libby and Aunt Ana can't contain their grins about Elena.

Peggy returned to the lake in time for a pontoon ride. As we entered North Pipe Lake, we watched Tom guide the pontoon back to its dock while Joan, Camllia, Joan and Reid were at the ready.
When we returned to our dock, we sat for while to watch the reflection of the setting sun. We were so happy to see the loons so nearby.

Then we heard a commotion behind us and saw the heron at the bow of the pontoon. Peggy's flash signaled its hasty departure. Away it flew.
Dinner on the screen porch ended this busy day.
