Blue Lake

For Thanksgiving, we headed out for our annual weekend with Jason's dad's family. This year we tried out a new resort after going to Loon Lake for over 20 years! Blue Lake was a couple hours closer which was nice. It is a small secluded lake surround by some hills. We enjoyed boating, fishing, hiking, playing in the playground, eating, hot tubbing, sitting around the campfire and playing games. Aidan caught a fish and Michael and Keira tried very hard to catch one too.It was very very cold up there but we had beautiful clear weather. Thankfully, our cabin was nice and cozy but others were not so fortunate as their woodstoves did not work so well. A highlight was hiking up the small mountain with all the kids. We were very impressed that the kids made it all the way to the top with very little complaining. We were even more impressed with our friend Darla Boese who also made it up as she was 7 months pregnant. (The Boeses came up for one night to visit and squished into our cabin with us.) From the top of the hill, we could look down onto the lake and our cabins. We also hid a geocache up there which the kids enjoyed. As usual, we had a fabulous time.
