Boys hike to Bloomington Lake

Glacier filled lake

Isaac, 3.5 months, Nicholas, 5 weeks

It was a chilly weekend, too cold to hang much at the Lake (59 air temp) so we had fun loafing at the cabin. The kids and I spent 5 days with Mom & Dad, Beau, Nickole & boys, Geoff, Ky & boys. Chris joined us on Friday after work (the boys & I arrived on Wednesday). Our visit was filled with, playing, visiting, golfing, golf ball hunting, hiking, a little lake time, lots of Wii time, smores, dutch oven meals and a boatload of little boys (9 boy cousins total).

Most of the family (Kylene & I stayed behind to care for the babies) hiked up to Bloomington lake. It's a Glacier filled lake, and about a 3 mile hike. Once there Chris and Beau tempted the boys with 10 bucks each if they stripped down to their underwear and jumped into the ice cold lake. After much persuasion, Brenden, Andrew and Benjamin took the challenge and ended up 10 dollars richer. Funny enough, it was harder to get them down into their underwear than it was to get them into the lake. I've been instructed by Andrew not to post those pictures!!!

Thanks mom and Dad for a great holiday weekend!
