Our first full day at the lake dawned a little chilly and overcast. That's OK - we had some unpacking and organizing to do. The kids were ready to start their day, so despite a LATE bedtime, they were up around 8 AM. After breakfast, they played a little, then we had "homework" time. Zachary writes in a journal for Ms. Ford every day, and Jeremy has cutting and letter practice jobs to do. When jobs were done, they were already ready for lunch. Then, we headed down to the lake. There were rocks to throw in, inflatable toys to prepare, and plenty of stick and pinecone hunting to do. The major dissapointment of the day was that only one of the bumper boats actually came with all of its parts. It's too bad, because they look like they'd be TONS of fun. We're just waiting to aquire 8 D batteries to determine if the intact boat will work. We stayed by the lake all afternoon. A family of loons hung out near our dock for a while. It was SO cool to see the mom and dad loon feeding the babies! It was a little too cold to swim, but Jeremy and I did anyway. The mosquitos weren't too awful most of the day. Thanks the the Pohlmans, Fries Family, and the Quatromani's we had a great fish dinner. This made Jeremy extremely happy. We also enjoyed broccoli and salads from the garden back home. We are trying to make our limited supplies last until Tuesday when we'll go to town. (Thanks to the P/F/Q families, we're stocked with some essentials for a little while.) It was fun to find Pam's homemade cookbook with lots of family recipes in the kitchen.
After dinner, the boys entertained themselves with a game of Uno, then we went to Bearhead. On the way, we saw 2 red foxes. I only managed to get a decent photo of one of them. I was glad to get what I did, considering the very low camera batteries and my status as driver. Really, the fox could not have been more cooperative, as it just walked along in the middle of the road for quite a while. The boys were WAY excited about seeing the foxes. Even poor Jeremy who just doesn't seem to see anything before it's gone saw them both.
We miss Daddy and can't wait to see him at the end of the week. We'll be keeping busy until then. :)
The best of the photos from today will be at http://www1.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=233134007/a=25280692_25280692/t_=25280692
