My cousin Eric had joined us at the cabin the night before. In the morning Ben, Eric and I went for a run and then everyone went swimming for a bit. This day is a blur, I think there was lunch and maybe some rest time and it was cooler - not hot swimming weather like the previous days. There was some dog walking and maybe some scooter or bike riding in there.
Mom and Eric went into town and we went down to see what the neighbors were up to. Despite it being supper time we decided it was perfectly logical to go out for ice cream! There is a cheese/ice cream/gift/liquor shop just a few minutes down the road (that also has a paperback book exchange by the way) that we frequent in the summer. There we found great ice cream (including a good non-dairy option for me) and entertainment and an Aaron Rodgers cheese. We just had to buy the cheese.
We managed to make it home for a quick dinner and picked up Eric to go over to Lake Tomahawk for snowshoe baseball. The games are free, entertaining (especially for kids) and draw pretty big crowds. Alex and Maya had gone with Grandma and Papa while I was back in TC the week before but this was our first time going. When we got there Maya asked me if I would buy her a drink...."the clear stuff Mom, it looks like water but it's not water and it doesn't taste like water and there are little bubbles in it". Ah - ha! Apparently someone bought her soda the last time!
I'm noticing as I sort through all these pictures that my kids have supported a number of small town organizations/fundraisers through their consumption of small white bags of popcorn this year!
