Lake

This last week I really wanted a break from everything, so I called up my parents and asked if Katie, Allie and I could spend a little girl time at my parent's cabin.  My parents graciously agreed so we packed  up the car and headed north last Thursday for a night get away.  I am hoping that this will be the first of many all girl trips in our future!  The weather was not all that warm (only 68 degrees) so I was a bit surprised when the girls wanted to go swimming right away when we got there.  Katie was the first one to brave the cold water and she convinced me to jump right in, YEOW!  What I won't do for my girls! Allie jumped in as well.  We swam to the neighbor's raft but after about 15 minutes in the water, we decided to get out and warm up.  We then went on a few nature hikes, watched some loons, played games and read lots of books, and enjoyed the peace and quiet that lake life offers.  It is too bad that bedtime for all of us was 10:15 PM (both of my girls were so over stimulated!) and wake up time was 6:10 AM. (Katie saw the sun come up and said, mom look it is morning time!)

Grandma and Grandpa came up on Friday morning and we all went fishing.  Allie caught a bass and Katie caught a perch.  After more fun with Grandma and Grandpa we headed home and stopped for a DQ treat at Cold Springs, a tradition that I am sure neither one of my girls will forget!  The girls enjoyed their lake sleep over!
