Laura could remember some of the things she had done in years past, and was very excited about swimming since she had just completed swimming lessons. Some old favorite activities were a pontoon ride, going for post-nap ice cream with Bapa, sitting in the swing overlooking the lake, visiting the other cabins, playing at the playground, and choosing a dessert from the buffet each night. New things Laura tried this year were shuffleboard with Grandma, listening to a storyteller with mom, fishing with daddy, and attending Grandma's favorite...folk songs around the bonfire with Ted Fyder!
Ryan was a really good baby on vacation. He slept well and was very easy at breakfast and dinner, falling asleep in his carseat so we could eat without having to juggle a baby. Just like Laura, he was subjected to the puffy blue infant life jacket and experienced his first pontoon ride. I'm sure next year will be much more fun for him; there will be so much more he can do!
Mike golfed most mornings and had a great round on the Lakes course that he was very proud of...he saved the scorecard for the fridge, something he only does when he golfs really well. He napped in the afternoons with the kids, giving me some time to sit by the pool and read or visit the shops. I should mention that I was on fire in our "Ruttger's Putting Challenge," three holes-in-one to tie with my brother for the win. It's rare than anyone other than my dad wins this event so I was pretty excited. All in all, another fun year. We are so thankful for this time together!
