Ten minutes into the 2.5 hour drive to Bradford's cabin, Lucas asks "Are we at the cabin yet?" |
|
|
| 9:45 zzzzzzzz....... |
|
|
| Lucas, Dad, and Penny push off on a canoe excursion. |
|
| Abbie seems to like the relaxed pace. |
|
| With the water too cold for swimming, Lucas settles for waving the noodles around on terra firma. |
|
| "Chippy" gets one of many peanuts. |
|
| Lucas looks out at Battle Lake. Why he needs to do this on one foot is a mystery to us... |
|
| Dad referees a little sibling roughhousing. |
|
| "Look at this!" |
|
| An early morning out on the dock. |
|
|
| Bradford said this train set has entertained kids for 40+ years. Lucas sure liked it. |
| b |
| Lucas and Dad goof off. |
|
| Bradford and Lucas head off for a walk through the forest. (Brad's grandfather cleared parts of this forest many years ago.) |
|
| Lucas concentrates on pushing the hammock for Mommy... |
|
| But, it's more fun to be IN the hammock! |
|
| "There's a boat!" |
|
| Abbie attacks Daddy on the hammock. |
|
| Bradford gives Lucas a lift on another nature walk, this time at "Inspiration Point" several miles south of the cabin. |
|
| Abbie rides in the backpack up to Inspiration Point. |
