Another McCall post, because summer vacation really should last forever

Here's a little mini-travelogue of the week we spent in McCall.

MONDAY: Arrival.

McCall was overcast and COLD. The view from the dock was gorgeous, though, and we all hoped desperately that it would warm up enough for us to really enjoy it. (It did.)


TUESDAY: Hiking.

You can read all about it here.

WEDNESDAY: Pontoon Boat.

We had use of two boats -- the pontoon boat that comes with the house, and a motor boat that we rented for a few days. I had some assistance from Matthew in captaining the pontoon boat.


After meandering up and down the lake, we found a suitable place to beach the boats for a picnic, and used the pontoon as a lazy homebase for some motor-boat-based-water-sports.


J-P and Brett decided to ride the innertube on the way home. Their beers got a little foamy, but I don't think they minded.


Not seasick in the slightest, J-P even spent the evening lolling in the water.


THURSDAY: Wakeboarding.

J-P got up first.


Never outdone, I got up on my next try.


We relaxed that night (actually, most nights) with that quintessential summer beverage, the gin and tonic.


Sunset (at an insanely late 9:30) was followed by an impressive display of amateur fireworks set off from the dock.


FRIDAY: Departure.

Goodbyes, plans to do this again soon, and a group picture, minus Saira, who had to leave early, giving some excuse about wedding planning and legal academic paper writing. Pshaw.
