After the seven hour drive we stretched our legs, unpacked and went to bed. That was Thursday. On Friday the real fun started. We woke up and had a wonderful breakfast (as we did everyday). Then they said we were going down to the dock and Brian and I rode our bikes while his parents and aunt carried everything down there. I was amazed with what I saw! A lake, an island, paddleboats, a rent a boat shack, and everything else that can be at a lake. First, after setting up we went riding around on our bikes for a while (until lunch). Then after eating we went fishing until about three.

Then we headed up to the cabin to find our neighbor (at the lake) named George. All he wanted to do was to play tag. After getting annoyed with him asking us, we gave in a played. For dinner we had Brian's choice of meal, hamburgers, and then we roasted marshmallows and went to bed.

On Saturday we did mostly the same thing, but instead of going to the dock, we rode our bikes to the dam about a mile away with his mom and dog, Sierra (who walked). When we all got there we went to the spot where Sierra learned to swim.

On Sunday I learned how to shoot an arrow, and we played a game where we had to hit certain spots in a certain amount of tries. We also went paddleboating out to the island and back.

On Monday we went on a two hour hike to a waterfall, where we had lunch.

On Wednesday we rented a party boat and went for a couple of spins around the lake.



And I got to drive some of the way!!



We also saw a sailboat race!!

After all the fun of a week at a cabin we had a seven hour drive back home and I just plopped down on my bed and went to sleep.

Trip 2

On this trip Brian's cousin came up from Texas and stayed at the cabin for a while.



Of course with and extra person, that meant that we could get the dishes done faster that any of the grown ups.



But it also meant that more people for poker or blackjack!!



An extra person is better for sweetalking people into letting you go innertubing!!
