Saturday December 26th, Cam, Carrie and I left from West Bend for the cottage. We arrived around noon or so and got everything unpacked and turned up the heat. Cam layed down for a nap. We needed groceries so we headed to Minocqua to walmart. By the time we got home, it was time for dinner and bed. On sunday, we rose and went off on the snowmobiles for a bit. We had promised Cam that we would go to a bar and get a candy bar if he went with us. We did a little treasure hunting for him on the trail but came up empty. We stopped at the Birch Lake Bar for a soda and a candy bar for the boy. Back home for dinner.
Monday, Bob arrived and was to watch Cam for a few days so we could go off snowmobiling. Carrie and I left around 11 with the destination of Land O Lakes for the night. We stopped off in Sayner at the Sayner Pub for lunch and continued on ariving around dinner time.
We ate at Black Oak and headed back to LOL for the night. Tuesday we left around 8 and stopped right away at Leif's for breakfast. We went straight north stopping for lunch in Twin Lakes, MI at Parkview. The service was REALLY slow even though there were not that many people in there. We headed back down going down through Bergland to Lake Gogebic. We stopped at the Gogebic lodge for a hot chocolate and headed again south. We had dinner at Bent's Camp which consisted of soup as we had such a late lunch. Back to LOL for sleep again. Wednesday we were going again by about 830 and left for home. We made a few wrong turns but made it eventually and played with Cam the rest of the day. We built a sledding hill off the deck which consisted of 3 turns and shooting into the driveway. Along with Cam, my two nephews really enjoyed the hill.
Thursday we were going to fish for the day. We loaded up and headed for Lake Katherine. We sat there most of the day until about 330 with very little luck at all. The lake was really slushy on top make it difficult to find even a decent spot for the portable. We managed. We played some WII and watched some TV until we went up to the rental that Danny had for the weekend. There we ate a steak dinner with the entire family. There was 15 of us for dinner. Soon after, we headed back to our place for more sleep.
Friday we woke and got a late start. Bob and I were going to go fishing while Carrie and Cam played around the house. Bob and I did not have much luck fishing at all. We ended the day with only 2 fish total. Carrie and Cam and all the rest of them played and played. When we got back, Carrie left to go and pick up Donna in Wausau. When they got back, I made a few pizzas. We played some WII and that was about it.
Saturday we woke to -21 outside. It warmed fast with the sun and by 10, we were heading to the snowmobile races put on by the local snowmobile club. It was a good time with friends and family although rather cold at times. We headed back to our place and had everyone over for dinner. It was a good food, family, and friends. On the way out, Danny decided that he was going to sled back to his rented cottage from my deck in only his underwear. Mind you it was -17 at the time. Anyway, he did it and we have the pictures to prove it.
Sunday was a day of packing up and heading home. It was a good week of vacation and we love spending time up north especially when everyone else is there also.
