Day 7 (8-5-11)

Pancakes!

Riding around the campground

Adam was up first this morning and crawled into our bed. He said, “I looked at my owies this morning…and they were still there!” Andrew and Noah went over to our site to play with the boys while we visited. Jacob (with Uncle Eric) took his grader down to Dennis’s site to be fixed. We took a walk around the campground with Eric and family and Grandma. Jacob and Adam both wiped out on their bikes. At around 11:30 we headed to Eagle River. Grandma rode with us. Eric, Kat and the boys came too. We ate lunch (pb&j sandwiches and pringles) on the beach. Jacob and Adam ran to greet Andrew and Noah when they saw them coming. Eli clung to me at first. He liked when I played ring around the rosie and dipped his toes in the water. Soon he was happy and playing in the shallow water. After a while though he got sleepy so I tucked him in his peapod for a nap. Jared and Eric took the boys out in Lake Superior. We spent a few hours on the beach and had a great time. I woke Eli as we were getting ready to leave. We stopped at the Jampot for goodies. There we realized Adam’s flip flop had fallen out of the van and, before going back to camp, we went back for those. We got back around 4:30. Jared got a fire going for our dinner. We relaxed in the shade at our site for awhile while the boys played in the dirt. Then the boys and I took a bike ride. After dinner we took a walk (bike ride) around camp. Grandma and Grandpa came over and we made smores. We gave Eli another smore and he ate some of the marshmellow using his finger. Eli sat on Grandma’s lap and was giggling.
