After a weekend in the big city of Chicago, we were glad to leave the public transportation behind and head to the Upper Peninsula for the rest of our vacation week. Here are some of the notable events.
Clara got her first fishing pole and tackle box for her birthday - pink with lights! She caught her first fish in Gaylord before we headed to the cabin. It was this big!
We arrived at Baldy Lake on Tuesday afternoon. The kids loved walking from our cabin to the neighbor's cabin on the trail that Grandma and Grandpa built.
We had a bonfire, went for boat rides, played on the beach, went fishing, and enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air.
We celebrated Clara's third birthday with a few presents, a fish fry with the family, and cupcakes.
With four kids under the age of 5, three dogs, three parents, and two grandparent, we were surprised that only one kid fell in the lake! Clara was glad Aunt Jenny was right there to pull her out. Someday, she will be glad that I didn't have my camera handy to document the incident. Darn.
We broke up the long ride home by staying at Aunt Chris's house on the lake in Port Huron. It felt good to stretch our legs on the beach.
Yea for the lakes! Happy birthday grand-daughter and happy crawling in the sand to Charlie. love, Grandma lew
