We had planned to go to Gun Lake on Saturday with the neighbors so they could try the new "big" tube. A few hours before we left, we got a call from a woman Dave works with who told us she had an empty camp site at Gun Lake so in 2 hrs, we packed and were ready to go to spend the day at the beach and camp for two nights!!!We had a great day at the beach, the tube was fun but the boys also tried kneeboarding which was also fun! Dave took them to the deep to swim and play and this picture is 7 people on the big tube! They had fun!
So, we said goodbye to the neighbors after dinner and we went over to the camp ground, set up Dave's Aunt's tent and made a fire and had some 'smores! The girls explored the camp ground and we had a fun night. We got up in the morning, had breakfast and went to the campground beach. The girls swam a little but the water was so calm, we put the boat in and Kelly tried water skiing. She almost got up!
Then, we went over the Riekse cottage to see if anyone was there and Amy took Dave kneeboarding behind their jet ski. Then Dave and Jon took turns splashing the girls with the jet ski's--you almost needed ear plugs for all the screaming that went on!
We had a quick lunch and then went out to play in the water again. We got Amy and Jon on the big tube, too, along with more deep water swimming with the big tube which was fun!
We had hobo pies for dinner, got ice cream and went to bed with everyone tired! We left out some food that the racoons got into in the middle of the night. I thought it was teenagers getting into the food but when a bag of chips dropped from the tree, I decided it was probably a 'coon! We cleaned up after our messy guests, packed up and went for a hike, and then went home. It was quite an exciting weekend that we did not plan for!!
