Day 4 (7-25-17)

Eagle River

We were up around 6am.  Jacob was up this morning by 7am. Grandma came over and we played Uno, dice, and then I taught them how to play tonk.  When Adam and Eli woke up Grandpa took over for Grandma on tonk so she could start pancakes.  After breakfast I worked on cleaning up the tent.  Then Jared, Jacob and I took a walk around the campground.  Jacob is wearing Adam's fitbit so he is trying to get extra steps.  Eli and Adam rode their bikes.  We played games until lunchtime.  After lunch we went to Eagle river.  There were so many rocks on the beach this year and not much sand.  The boys had fun playing in the stream.  They went in Lake Superior but didnt stay in long because it was freezing cold. After a couple hours on the beach we headed to the Jampot for goodies. On the way back to camp we stopped at the pottery shop to see Leslie.  Grandma and Grandpa were there and we helped them finish planting some day lilies that Grandma had brought.  Leslie brought out Butters (the cat) for the boys to see.  Adam walked around with the him on a leash.  Jacob read his book and Eli fed the chipmunk.  Back at camp Adam started a fire to get ready for our hobo dinners.  We relaxed in our hammocks and Eli climbed in with Daddy.  Adam was reading in the tent and Jacob sat by the fire reading his book.  Adam and I took a bike ride while the hobo dinners were cooking.  Then Adam and Daddy took a bike ride to the fort store for ice.  After dinner we took our walk around the campground and the boys rode on scooters.  Then Grandma came over and played tonk with us.  We sat by the fire and visited.  Then Adam the got things ready for making s'mores.  Eli and I took a bike ride.  It was getting cooler and felt like it might rain. We went to bed around 10pm.
