For Mark & Mary's birthdays this year, we all decided to rent a cabin on Nelson Lake in Hayward, WI for a long weekend of fun! We had such a beautiful weekend to enjoy the great outdoors, full of plenty of sunshine. We spent most of our time relaxing at the cabin, eating and drinking plenty, cruising on the boat, fishing, or playing at the beach.
One evening we did head into town for dinner. Here are the cousins after dinner - Greta, Lydia, Gabriel, and Henry. Oh man, these cousins all had such a great time with each other. Greta & Henry just LOVE being together!
Who needs water to paddle board? Not this girl :)
There was a tiny little beach area, which was just 2 miles from our cabin. It was perfect for the kids, and they had the place to themselves each morning.
Mark & Mary brought their boat and "the torpedo" also made the trip. It had been probably 15-20 years since the last time I had gone tubing, so I had to get on "the torpedo" and give it a whirl! Here are Phil and Greta, chugging through the water. Henry also got on with Phil at one point. How brave of those two little ones!
We had to enjoy a fire with s'mores one night, of course!
On our last day there, we made a stop at the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward. Henry is sooooo into fishing right now, so I thought he'd really get a kick out of this place. I loved the huge fish statues! Here's the one where you had to climb quite a few stairs to peek out of his huge mouth.
Oma, Lydia, Henry, & Opa. You can't tell Lydia to "smile" or she closes her eyes and looks down like she's doing here :)
Biiiiiiiiiig fishy behind us!
The kids were singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" here, and you can see they're rowing quite fast :)

One last stop before heading home - West's Dairy for some fabulous ice cream. Two thumbs up from Henry and it appears Lydia is giving it many fingers up :)
