We drove up late Friday for a long three day weekend up at the cottage, and our cousin AJ decided to surprise us and tag along. We could not have asked for more beautiful weather, which we were a bit worried about after the cold winter and spring we've suffered through. We were beginning to think that Wisconsin would never be warm again, but boy were we wrong. It was 85 degrees and sunny each day. The lake was still a bit cold, but that didn't stop us from diving in. We also took the new paddle boards out for their inaugural runs (and spent some time playing with all of the bubble wrap they came in). I enjoyed tooling around the lake with AJ, while Lily tried one out all by herself. Last year when we rented them she was able to do it while kneeling, but this year she was a pro at it while standing as well. With such nice weather we spent almost every waking minute outside. If we weren't on or in the lake, we were taking Wrigley for walks, playing walkie-talkie hide n' seek, or enjoying giant s'mores by the campfire. We even took an afternoon to visit Uncle Pat and Aunt Mary (or Saint Mary as I like to call her) at their cottage. John and James were up too so we swam some more and played water gun tag. We were so busy with all of our activities all weekend that we didn't even make it to the candy store, which is a first for us. I guess nice weather trumps the candy store here in our world!
