Saturday

Saturday morning the kids spent all morning in the pool at the motel. They went back and forth from the pool to the hot tub tossing a ball back and forth and splashing around.

After lunch we went in search of a good place for Matt to take us kite skiing. Unfortunately by the time we got down to the lake and got the stuff out the wind died down! Ben and Matt got the kite up once but it didn't stay up very long.

Luckily the place we ended up had a killer tubing hill! So we went tubing instead. All afternoon! They had a pretty fancy tow rope that Alex thought was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. (We were at the Al Quaal recreation area in Ishpeming)

After supper mom and dad took the kids to the motel for bed and Ben and I got a chance to go out with Matt and Amy. They wanted to take us to Blackrocks brewery, a new very small brewery in Marquette. It's in a renovated old house, very small, very small batches of beer so by Saturday night there weren't a lot of choices but what we had was good!
