7/4/10: This place, Manitou Beach on Round Lake, is just gorgeous. I woke to the stage whisper of “Rushes, Rushes!” Mike was getting bored, I think, and was checking to see if we were up. I giggled and crawled out of the tent. Before long we were all up and headed out for breakfast. Unfortunately, the restaurant of choice wasn’t open. We tried choice two. Too crowded. It was on to another. Buffet? Great! Empty buffet and just about no service? Not so great. Amazingly, though, we all left full.
Ruth took the kids and Mike, Brad and I went to Sun & Snow Poop Deck to find me a bathing suit, since I had totally forgotten to bring one. We lucked out because they were have a clearance sale in the barn outside and I got 3 bathing suits for $50. Woo hoo!
Back to the lake. Brad and I took the jetski out. He rode rather conservatively, although we got up to 50 miles per hour. Then I switched in. I never managed more than 47 miles per hour, but I made it FUN! Spins and swirls, jumps & bumps. Brad was almost crying. It was so funny!!!! Somehow I think he thought I’d be more mellow. WHATEVER!
The girls have spent a lot of time out on the paddle boat, Brad and Mike are kayakking and Grace has been catching minnows. We’re prepping for the big block party now. The chicken is smoking, the smoked tenderloins are warming, the devil eggs are made and we’re awaiting the cool of the late afternoon (not that it’s hot to ME!).
