Vacation Part One

I have this week off of work, so we decided to go stay up at the lake. Of course we had to drive up to Ely and go to Sir G's. We let Joey play at the park before we went to eat, hoping to burn off steam. We figured a Monday at 4:30, it wouldn't be that busy... we were wrong. We were armed with toys, but no luck. The boy would not sit still. He kept peeking through the curtains to say hi to people.. arghh.
Of course, he's all cute and chilled out on the ride home.

We came back to the lake and had a nice fire. There was a family of ducks that were hanging out quacking at the dogs. Joey wanted to try swimming, but it was too cold, instead we opted for the outdoor sauna?? See below..











Our modified sauna, we've got everything right? A hot fire, a bucket of water, and a Finlander





Joey had to read Sport Aviation before going to bed.







On Tuesday morning we picked raspberries and went for a walk. Then it started to rain, so we went to Sulu's coffee shop in TOwer, what a great place! Good drinks and food, toys for kids, and the internet. We also went shopping at Zups, JOey pushed around his own little shopping cart, which we filled. Back to the lake for lunch and a nap. It rained again. After breaking out Boggle (remember that game), and coloring, and being confined to the cabin, we headed back to V-town. Hopefully the weather is nicer tomorrow. (derek has to do homework anyways..)

I can't believe you're still wearing long sleeves and jeans! We're roasting out here. The a/c has been running for days (can't wait to get that bill).
