Scott and I both took off on Friday to get a head start on the weekend and we are really glad we did.
We headed up north to Three Lakes (by Eagle River) to visit his Nanna and Grandpa. We arrived mid afternoon and imediately started to relax. As the day went on we found ourselves indulging in the peace and quiet of the great northwoods. Friday we stuffed our face with a fish fry or in my case I had shrimp fettucini alfredo, and spent the night talking with family.
Saturday we visited our friends, who were also up north 15 min. away, we went water skiing, played some bags, and party barged across the lake. To say the least we could not move on Sunday because we were so sore from skiing Saturday.
Sunday we bathed in the lake, there is nothing like jumping in a semi-cold lake early in the morning to wake you up, then headed out to the parade. It was quite entertaining to see my father-in-law and Scott's aunt fighting for candy. I think they were having more fun with the candy than the kids next to us. A sunny morning lead into a cloudy and rainy afternoon. Scott went fishing and I took a four hour nap and tried to read my book. Since it rained all day the fireworks were canceled, oh well we will catch them next year!
Monday we headed home after some more skiing and some battle tubing with Scott's cousin and her fiance. I think we are still recovering from the torture our bodies went through. All in all we spent the weekend stuffing our face with great food from Nanna and great company with family. We hope you all had a great 4th of July!

ReplyDeleteI guess that leaves me with it seems that the two of you had a really physically challenging family this weekend...okay that was probably too much, but I glad that you had fun up north, could see family and got some time to relax, even if your bodies are groaning. Oh yeah, are you sure it isn't your age catching up to you;)
