Nutmeg Goes to the Lake!

 Alex came home this weekend! He has been building a ferry in Nelson, BC and comes home on his DAY off. Yes I said DAY! He only gets 1 and he drives home to see his Nutmeg (and do his laundry and have Mom cooked foods). Because there is a holiday this weekend, Alex got 2 days off! 

Nutmeg is ecstatic! This means she gets to sleep 2 nights with Alex, and she gets to hang out with him for a whole day! He was invited to go boating on Christina Lake and he took Nutmeg with him.

 

Christina Lake is about 20 km (12 miles) east of Grand Forks and just 1 km north of the US border. Mom has Find My on her phone and Nutmeg has an airtag on her collar so Mom got a picture on her phone of where she was!

Here is a shot of her in the boat!

She has her very own life jacket! And she was not the only kid on the boat! Our neighbor, who owns the boat, brought Hadley. Hadley is a little girl too and she is the same age as Nutmeg. They play together all the time and they got some epic plays in the boat together!

Here's a picture of Nutmeg with Alex!

She told me the boat rocking and bumping was a little scary at first and that she thought she might get a little sea sick, but she got over it pretty fast and had a great time!

 They all got out of the boat at the top end of the lake to see the tree and go for a walk. Nutmeg was scared to get out, so she got lifted out and carried to the beach, that's where she saw a really strange tree! She thinks it was yelling at all the dogs to keep them away! She says she got carried back to the boat when they were ready to go back. She she says it was because she did NOT want to get her jacket wet and Hadly was being carried so she should be too!

All in all, she had a terrific time and says that she would love to go again! Alex said that she was a good grrl and kept Hadley from getting bored. Nutmeg says she LOVED all the attention and the wind blowing through her furs and all the wonderful treats that Hadley gave her!
