Wisc.--Day 6

Friday, August 13, 2010 

6:30 a.m. We’re all awake and having devotions.   It’s going to rain today, which might prevent our planned raft trip.  I’m making ham & eggs for breakfast.

8:00 a.m.  Mike is cleaning the kayaks and putting them away, and I am doing dishes and laundry.  We’re all going around cleaning up miscellaneous things. 

10:00 a.m.  Playing Cadoo.  It’s raining.  Best weather day so far, because there’s a nice cool breeze blowing in the windows. 

12:00 p.m.  Finishing up leftovers for lunch and heading to our favorite place (yep, the candy store). 

2:30 p.m.  Power has been out all afternoon.  The water is controlled by an electric pump, so we have no water either, which means I can’t wash dishes, do laundry, or vacuum.  All of those things were on my list of things to do today.  Can’t flush the toilet or turn on any fans.  Glad it’s not as hot as it has been.  We’ve packed everything we can pack and cleaned everything we can clean. I can use this computer until the battery dies, which won’t be long.  We’re going to play a game.

4:20 p.m.  Power is finally back on.  Hot dogs, baked beans, and broccoli.  Then dishes, laundry, vacuuming, and various other fun stuff.

6:00 p.m.  Fishing off the dock.  I caught a two-inch bass.  Mike said it looked like it had just hatched from its egg.  He was stoked to catch this massive bluegill with the pink princess pole:

Noah caught a little bluegill too,

and then somehow managed to fall into the lake, fishing pole and all.

Since he was already wet, he jumped off the dock many times just for fun.
