En Plein Air on Blueberry Island

Our little lake Tippecanoe in northern WI has a number of islands...one "set of islands" we dub Blueberry and "little" Blueberry Islands. Great places for a picnic lunch!

We packed up the 4 grandkids and my son came along with us and we canoed and kayaked over to the islands yesterday. We took the usual: picnic blanket, lunches (watermelon and cookies, sandwiches, and chips, lemonade) and buckets for treasure hunters. Everyone had suits for swimming. Beautiful day!


After the picnic, while the explorers were hiking the islands and swimming around them, I took out my sketch book. Later we built a teepee for the little ones to sit in and then had a race home in the boats. It's not a bad life!
