A Day of Lessons

August 22, 2014... a day of lessons!  We started out with a nice drive up nearby Tin Cup Mountain after breakfast... where we learned how to clear fallen trees from a trail.  Once at the top, we enjoyed the view for a while, then we had some shooting lessons, ending the days of J's old flip-flops, which had flipped one too many times and blew a strap... nothing like a little lead to ventilate some old rubber sandals!  On the way back down, it was time for  C to practice her driving for a bit.  She did a fantastic job, learning how to drive off-road on an uneven, narrow, tree-strewn, one-lane road... she even pulled over and stopped for the one-and-only oncoming truck before I even saw it!  Once back at the cabin, we continued to enjoy the blazing sunshine with paddleboard lessons.  J was a natural, up instantly and paddling out into the lake in minutes.  K... well, perhaps not a natural... but her perseverance was admirable, and she managed to master the technique enough to have a good time!  C took some time to give us henna tattoos, which last surprisingly long!  At the end of the day, tired and a little sunburned, we enjoyed another fine sunset prior to lighting our blazing bonfire.
