Fishing for clams

Two weeks ago we still had a glorious summer vacation. It was time for sleeping in, almost no schedule ( especially during the last two weeks ) and the promised clam fishing. We had to wait for a low tide.
The weather was splendid, so I took a book, a camera, Frisbee disc ( for later ) and joined the fishermen crew :)
 








We have managed to make a clam chowder from the gathered clams; Jacob and Andrzej caught enough of them :)

The cabin


 
 
 
 









The cabin was as vintage as the cars and gas station. The last one of ten that was original built in 1940s.
Old but well maintained.
After the initial "omg I forgot how small it is and there are five of us", we settled down and got used to quite quickly. There was one complain though; the owner had way, way too many articles in his cabin; too many towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, books, games,  pots, cups and endless cleaning supplies.
All of those very unnecessary things took a lot of space which meant that our belongings had to stay in suitcases and bags.
Nevertheless we liked it, and if we were on the market to buy a cabin I wouldn't mind getting such one :)
On the last day on the lake it was raining. Not the Harvey rain, but it lasted all day long. I can only imagine how horrible the rain might sound to the good Texans now :(

We stayed in the cabin most of the day with a break for library in town and pizza. Andrzej braved out and went for swim/sauna/swim/sauna/swim/sauna adventure and he liked it quite much :)

Later we said good bye with tears from Kubus who gets attached very quickly to new places. Fortunately the thought of getting home and playing with his favorite lego, put a smile on his face.
Until next year :)
