I know...who wants to go to a lake named "Leech" Lake? We did. It is beautiful. It has the clearest water of any lake I've ever been in. It's in northern Minnesota...and yes it has GINORMOUS leeches. These suckers are huge. To the landlubber they look like eels! BUT...they don't attach to people! Thank goodness because this mom can do a whole lotta things but taking leeches off of her kids is not one of them.
We stayed at "The Bayside Resort". Mike's cousins have a lake cabin a few feet away from the cabin that we rented. They were our very most hospitable hosts for the weekend! They catered to our every need. It was fabulous and TOTALLY relaxing. I'm going back. Beautiful country and friendly people. If you're looking for a quiet vacation spot, then this may be the place for you.
A few photos...ok a lot!
The kids went tubing...
We sat on the deck...
They fished for crawfish...and caught MANY....
look how they can hang on!
A few of us kayaked...my arms still hurt.
We...um...well...I guess I don't really know what #4 is doing here...but he's sure having fun!
One of us modeled...continuously!
#2 sat on the dock in the bay. Get it?
We fished...
#3 had a blast with an enormous beach ball...
#4 would have slept in his life jacket...
#1 enjoyed the boating....
It was a bit chilly and rainy for a few days. However, after this HOT and DRY summer it felt marvelous.
Except for some occasional try-to-take-a-nap TV watching, there were no electronics included in this vacation package. I love that!
