Day Eighteen: Hot, Hot, Hot!



Today the temperature reached nearly 90 degrees here. That may not sound like much, but for northern Minnesota it's HOT. I did some much needed cleaning this morning (our room stayed pretty cool with the big fan running), then I went to the lake to cool off while the boys watched Spongebob and Tim went fishing in the canoe with Josey. Eventually, the kids came out to swim, and Tim came back, and we had another afternoon in the lake. It was great, though it's an odd sensation to be cold (lake water) and hot (air) at the same time. Tim and I even had a chance to play Blokus in the screenhouse. I came in around 3PM and read for a bit before falling asleep for a nice afternoon nap. My first real nap of the vacation. As napping is one of my favorite things, lasting into the third week of vacation with no nap is a feat!

Dinner was burgers on the grill, tater tots (boys' choice), and brussel sprouts. Yummy. We went out fishing again after dinner. This time we took Goober AND Josey. Goober nearly jumped into the lake after the sunfish when we threw them back. He also came close to eating a worm. The boys had an awesome time again. When we got back, we played a round of penny in the pot and sent boys to bed.
