St James Bay Cabin for Mark's Big Day! (June 2012)

This year has been a full year of first times. For Mark's 31st Birthday we headed to another new cabin - the St. James Bay cabin. Caitlin even had a first time of actually steering the boat by herself (of course while sitting on Mark's lap!)
The Mandrew!
Headed across - driving intently!

Mommy and her little boy!
The sun started to shine and it was HOT! Out came shorts and off went coats~
Loading up the raft to get to shore~
The St James Bay cabin is in the background in the trees.

On land and ready for lunch!
Some friends/neighbors of ours were staying a private cabin somewhat nearby - they stopped by and took this amazing panoramic picture of us on the beach in front of the cabin at high tide - the cabin is on the very end of a narrow island. At high tide it truly is on an island but at low tide you can walk to three other islands to get to the mainland.
A little closer!
Of course Brew joined in on the sunshine and fun!
Here is the island across from the cabin - at high tide you can't walk to it!
Here is a picture of the same island where the tide has started to go back out and you could walk from the cabin to the island across the way and on to the other island on the left hand side of the picture.
A little nap in the sun!
I think this boy was growing - always eating at the table!!
We did a little exploring in the woods~
Awwwwe - so cute!
The birthday man!!
St. James Bay Cabin
Only lesson learned about this cabin is the beach is pretty steep - load and unload the boat at high tide!!
Here you can see the really low tide and how much beach there is to walk along to the other islands~
Campfire with sparklers and marshmallows!
Andrew even joined in on the sparkler action! This was a late night for the kids - see how it was getting dark? Well these were taken at 10:30 pm!
Breakfast on the beach!
A special throne just for Mark!
BEAUTIFUL!!
So out we headed halibut fishing - these were are two winners for the day!
Snack time on the boat~
More beautiful views from the water~
Checking it out - not too much wild life this trip though.
Helping dad with the shrimp pots~

Smore's!
Sparklers!
Happy girl!!
Amazing sunset - see the moon coming up??
Sparkler in the night sky~
Birthday Breakfast on the beach - complete with carrot cake!
Then we were off to explore the other islands!
And find BIG rocks!
Cutie!
Yep, here we go!
This is Andrew's favorite spot! It got a little muddy and he was not having any of that. . . silly boy decides when and where he wants to get dirty.
Around the second island was a little rockier~
Our cabin was across the water on the island in the background.
Caitlin checking out the forest behind the cabin - no wild life but we did find moose poop!
Happy Birthday Mark - here's to next years adventure!!
