Thursday - Friday 22nd, 23rd

Thursday morning Alex got his new bike. Matt, Amy, Grandma and Papa went in together and got him a really nice Specialized "Hot Rock". It's blue and black and very slick looking. I plan to get some pictures of him on it when we get back up north. He loves it!
Matt, Amy, Ben and I went back up to Escanaba lake trail to mountain bike. No unusual animal or bird sightings this time. We were thankful for the hard core bug spray we had grabbed though - holy mosquitos batman!
It started raining as we were coming home. We ran down the hill to jump in the lake and ran back up - the water was warmer than the air and since it was raining it didn't pay to bring a towel down so that run back up was chilly!
Legos and coloring after lunch until company came later. Lori, Mike, Jessie, Grandma Ruth, Jared and Zoe came for visiting and supper. Considering we were all packed in the cabin due to the rain and the kids had no naps they did a great job.
We did get outside briefly, Alex rode his bike some more and Maya got out her "balancing bike" too.
Maya went to bed pretty early and Alex went to bed without any problems and just read until he could sleep.
A whole group of us went out to Otto's (Beer Garden/Pub downtown Minocqua - 2 kinds of KBC on tap) that night. Tourists + live music = priceless entertainment.

Friday morning we packed up (mostly laundry!) and came back south again. We met Paul and Karrie in Wittenburg and dropped Alex off with them. He was going to stay the night at their house and we will all meet in New London again this afternoon.
