Day 5 (7-26-17)

Bete Gris

Ready for s'mores

We were up around 6:30.  The flies were biting this morning.  Adam and I played tonk and he won.  Grandma and Grandpa came over to visit.  We gave Grandpa his birthday cards.  Jacob woke up around 8:30 and got right to reading his book.  Adam did some reading in his hammock.  We were waiting for Eli to wake up and I asked Adam if he wanted to go for a bike ride.  Eli quickly came out of the tent saying he wanted to go for a bike ride too.   After breakfast we took a bike ride around the campground with Eli.  Then we took our morning walk and the boys rode bikes.  Adam found some wood and Jared found a huge piece of wood that needed to be split.  Jacob stayed at camp to read his book.  Back at camp we relaxed in the hammocks for awhile.  Then we all played tonk until lunchtime.  After lunch we headed to Bete Gris beach to swim.  The boys had fun playing in the sand and the water.  The water was cold but Daddy went for his Lake Superior swim.  We saw a bald eagle land in a tree top.  We stayed for a couple hours and then headed back to Copper Harbor.  We stopped at the shop to visit with Dennis and Leslie.  Picked out some beautiful mugs and a bowl.  Back at camp we got a fire ready for dinner.  Jacob finished reading his book and started the next one in the series.  Eli and Adam played tonk and Jared and I did some knitting.  After dinner we went for our walk around the campground.  Eli and Adam rode their bikes and Jacob stayed to read.  After our walk we went to visit with Grandma and Grandpa at their site.  Jacob came over with his book.  Adam went to read in his hammock.  Grandma and Grandpa came over to sit by the fire and we made s'mores.  Adam and Eli played games in the dining fly.  We sang happy birthday to Grandpa.  Got to bed around 10 pm.
