Read our books?

Tim and I decided to spend the time reading. We were getting close to the end of the books, and were looking forward to starting the next in the series. Tim had brought the next one, and I would start on the one he was finishing. After reading we solidified our plans for fishing the next day.

Our plan was to be up bright and early in the morning, so we were asleep by 10pm. Tim woke me up at 6am, and we both slowly got ready, having a quick bite to eat and going out into the misty morning to prepare the boat. Rochelle was still asleep when we left. We spent the morning fishing, and had great success! Tim caught a monster 5-pound pike, and I caught a 3 and 4 pound smallmouth bass. We let the pike go and kept the bass to cook up for supper.

We arrived back to the cottage as the girls and Rochelle were finishing up a late lunch. Tim and I ate the leftovers and then cleaned the fish. After putting them on ice, we decided to go for a hike. There was a trail that went half-way around the lake to a nice swimming area, and we spent the afternoon enjoying the woods and the swim after. We arrived back as Rochelle and the girls were starting their supper, so Tim also cooked our fish.

I was probably imagining it, but I sure felt like Rochelle's eyes were wandering to me every now and then. I would look at her when I was brave enough and she would either smile, or look away quickly as if she had been staring.

That night, we decided to have a fire out in the firepit. When darkness fell just after 9pm, Tim and I got a really nice fire going. We had the lawn chairs down by the pit and were all sitting around it, chatting about this and that as the fire snapped and crackled. We were all in shorts and t-shirts, and Rochelle had a sweatshirt tied around her waist.
