July 8, 2008 - Swimming and Biking in the Northwoods
Swimming is by far one of the highlights of the trip for the kids.
By the boathouse is a dock that is high off the water and most excellent for jumping into the lake both backwards…
and frontwards…
and with a goofy look on your face. The kids enjoy hours jumping into the water here.
I dragged Emma away from the lake long enough for a tortuous bike ride over the boulders, loose rock, and gravel of an old logging road that leads right from the cabin. We biked miles and never came to the end.
Some of the hills were very steep and Emma and I both took turns losing our grip on the trail near the bottom of steep hills that curved at the bottom. We both came up uninjured.
The wild strawberries weren’t quite as large as the ones back home, but sure tasted good back deep in the woods on the bike ride.
