Hello Everybody!
If you have been over to my old blog, you may have seen my post that I have made about my summer weekend trip to Waupaca, Wisconsin with Maggie, Christine, their parents, Don & Ruth, and friends of the family.
This year our friend Hannah came too!
Saturday we drove up to Rhinelander (where I was for the Hodag) to pick up Christine at her summer job at Camp Tesomas.
She was getting so excited and anxious on the ride home, a bit rubbed off on me as well, even though I've only been there three times, I always have such a great time-it keeps me coming back!
Christine had only forgotten her towel this year (We're proud of her).
We ran down to the (new) boat, named Leslie, and checked out her sweetness.
She's definitely a party boat!
Maggie and Hannah left for a canoe ride and Christine and I jumped in the water with her mom. Family friends, George and Rick, followed shortly.
The water is so clear and the sky was as well. I was soooooo happy the water was warm.
(With 82 degree weather, it can't get any better than that!)

Dunvegan (named after the Scottish family castle).
Shortly after, we dried off and Christine and I took a kayak ride to Marl Lake (Green Lake)
I made sure to take some form of photo taking device with me this year because it is so beautiful!
I now know that Christine has the bladder of a squirrel and should always make a rest stop for her, as she needs to pee every half hour. It made our trip a bit longer, but less rushed.
You can see how clear the water is; thank you, Wisconsin.
It was absolutely beautiful!
And finally we got to Marl Lake!
The reason why we call it Green Lake.
No, it's not algae, the lyme in the sediment makes the water this beautiful blue-green color.
Christine says it is about 80' deep!
I'm so arty.
We spent about a half hour there until, you guessed it, Christine had to "go".
We were on our way back, almost half way home, when she felt her sun glasses slip off her head and fall into the water. She reached over to grab them and fell right in. It seemed much more frightening to us than to everyone else we had told later that day...
She walked waist deep in muck to the boat landing to drain the kayak and get back inside. It was an experience, and I'm glad that I was with her. Who knows what could've happened.
Later that night we went to Clearwater Harbor for dinner, which could've been a lot better if the live band that they had playing there wasn't inside and so VERY loud. I feel like I sound like an old lady complaining about it but honestly, we had to yell at each other just to have a conversation. Ugh! The food was pretty good, but it seemed like all of our orders had something missing or wrong with them and I partially blame the noise that the waitress had to filter out while taking them.
In the end, Maggie won best meal choice with the avocado burger (also, thank you again for footing the bill Don&Ruth!)
Afterwards, we played a few board games until the early morning and went to bed.
Sunday, we were woken up with pancakes and sausage (which I was super grateful for, as I haven't had breakfast made for me at home in years).
It was a great weekend with friends that I look forward to each summer and I absolutely cannot wait to get invited back next year!
Thank you to the McClure's for having me!
