Weekend start of our big trip began with a great get together and celebration of Christopher and Kathleen's wedding. And Saturday night ended with a bang, lots of bangs and close up fireworks craziness. It was a private show over the lake and it was loud and amazing.
We left early afternoon on June 2nd, 1/2 day school for Sammie's last day of elementary school followed by a 3.5 hour drive to Hide-A-Way Haven resort in Lac du Flambeau, WI. We arrived and decided that down by the cabins would not be an option to park the trailer because of the big tent in the drive way. So up by the house and garage with a little power for the fans helping the dogs stay cool in the heat. Amazingly enough the rain stayed pretty much at bay during the hours we were outside.
The resort is owned by my step sister Julie and step brother in law Randy. It was a lot of good food, fun and fishing! Started of with a great brunch, even with pine needles in pancakes. Fruit was amazing too. Jason went in a kayak with Emmett first while Sammie was out on the paddle boat with Grammy fishing. She caught a 13.5 inch bass. Then Sammie joined Jason out on the lake with her own kayak too. She was a little wobbly but did great.
The chicken and ribs for dinner was good and the fish cookies were fun too.
The band was cool and it was a good time ended with some fun dancing. Kids were exhausted after fireworks. Amazingly enough we got up early due to random Yogi yipping. We left 45 minutes ahead of time even on Sunday. Destination Buffalo River State Park Minnesota in 7.5 hours.
