Wis.--Day 5

Thursday, August 12, 2010

8:00 a.m. Going to hike to waterfalls at McClintock and Goodman Parks.



11:00 a.m. Home for lunch. The hike was beautiful, but still SO hot and muggy. The kids get bitten by mosquitoes even when they’re coated with bug spray. They just can’t resist them. We picked blackberries and raspberries. Sarah could hardly wait to get home to go to the bathroom:


Mike is making freezer-burned frozen pizza for lunch. He dropped it on the oven door, scooped it up, and dropped it on the stove top.

1:30 p.m. Making our daily trip to Sweet Memories. Too hot for anything but ice cream. Cooled off at the library, checked out some books and DVDs.

3:30 p.m. Watched Ratatouille DVD with kids.

5:00 p.m. Sarah and I are making tuna casserole. Boys are having kayak races. Cooking and washing dishes in this kitchen is very hot.

6:30 p.m. Roasting marshmallows for s’mores. Noah and I are going swimming in the lake.

8:00 p.m. Showers and bed for kids.

11:00 p.m. Mike and I went out to the dock to look at the stars. The sky was so dark over the lake.  We saw satellites, the Milky Way, a planet, and lots of shooting stars.  It was amazing!

P.S. We’ve seen a bald eagle, wild turkeys, a couple deer, some chipmunks, and loons, but no bears.
