A few weeks ago, my dad got the great idea to rent a cabin for a week right here in Rhinelander. The thought was that we could have our own special waterfront place that would be fun, low stress, and safe to do during COVID. He found an available cabin at Three G's resort on Lake George, only about 10 minutes from our house! We settled into our cozy three bedroom cabin and spent 8 wonderful days enjoying the beautiful sandy beach, swimming, going out in Dad's fishing boat, eating yummy food, and playing lawn games. The kids REALLY improved their swimming skills over the course of the week. Nolan even did his first perfect back float with no help! They both had so much fun swimming to the raft. Nolan loved to be thrown in the water by Eric and perfected the art of the CANNONBALL!! Simon loved the water, too, and when the mood struck him, he would take off for the water with reckless abandon and run right in! He would flop all over the place, giggling and laughing the whole time. It was quite a feat to keep him safe! The kids built sandcastles on shore and we talked a lot about erosion and how water flows to the lowest point. It was a fun science project! The kids also really got into fishing! Both kids caught a ton of tiny pan fish, but each managed to land a giant bass, and Livi even had a 40" Muskie on her line at one point!
We went on some hikes at Nicolet and CAVOC and spent an afternoon/evening on the pontoon with Steve and Patti. We also celebrated Olivia and my birthdays with SO MUCH CAKE and some thoughtful presents. It was so fun to have the opportunity to do something so fun in the midst of the pandemic. This was the highlight of our summer and we made memories that will last a lifetime!
