Happy 4th of July!

Day 2 started off nice and lazy. As lazy as waking up with Mr. Can't-Sleep-Past-7AM can get, that is. At least Mariella slept in. It had rained overnight, and there were puddles just waiting to be splashed in. I don't have pictures, but I can tell you that the morning playground time left us with 2 water and mud-soaked, but happy kids. Later, we visited the pool for the first time. Jacob was beyond excited to use his floaty ring. We spent much of the day going back and forth between the pool and the playground.

Eating a snack and watching a little TV in Jacob's bed before heading to the pool again. Side note: I always swore we would never get a travel DVD player, but we decided to try one out for this trip and it was Worth. Every. Penny.

Mariella tired of the pool long before Jacob did, so I took her back to the cabin to play. Here is her famous stinker face.

4th of July parade! They even threw candy!

We think this one of Jacob is pretty hilarious. He looks so tough, possibly flashing an inappropriate gang sign. What it actually is, is what he did when I told him to make a 4 for the 4th of July.

The kids with their parade candy. Yes, we let Mariella have a sucker. She actually did a great job with it.

Back to the playground. I got Jacob to stand by the resort sign. He was a bit wound up from the candy.

Mariella loved playing in this little house. She spent a lot of time going in and out, and running around the outside as we chased her.

We took the short walk down to the lake to check it out. The kids were not very impressed, but the adults enjoyed the view. This is Little Winnibigoshish. It looked huge to us, but apparently it would fit into the Big Winnibigoshish 62 times! (We did eventually drive to see the big lake. Pictures to follow.)



Walking back to shore. Jacob did not really care for the bobbing of the dock. He also looked at the lake for about 2 seconds before he was ready to head back.

That was it for Day 2. The kids didn't stay up late enough for any fireworks, but Tom and I could hear some fellow campers enjoying some. There was also a pretty impressive display shot over the lake. We could sort of see it through the trees in front of the cabin.
