We are back at Lac Poulter, just waiting for the boys to get the cars to load up. Kaitlin is ready to head home after her second canoe trip of the year.

Saturday night's campsite, a beautiful point. We had rain during the night and woke Sunday morning to a grey, cool but dry day.

We had to move our canoe's up the beaver dam. Brenna and Stewart are happily the first ones over and ready to paddle up river to the next little portage.

Forte and Hyden were playing. This is a pretty typical goofy look for Forte.
