vacation part 8: back to the Lodge



Will and I spent a good part of our last week of vacation back up at the lodge with Grandma Susan and her friend Maryanne, who came to visit. Also we hung out a lot with Ron and Becky Hubbard who have a cabin nearby. We spent most of this trip going for walks, reading books, playing with the clothesline, knitting (which involved Will throwing and trying to eat a ball of yarn Grandma gave him), scooting (he was getting better at the army-crawl), playing the piano with me (we left the keyboard at the lodge), banging on pots and pans and eating cheerios. We planned on a bunch of naked swimming but it was too cold and windy that final week. We did manage to put our piggies in the water a few times though.



We went out to dinner a few times, which was pretty fun for Will. On the left, Becky let Will play with her straw at the Black Bear (total northwoods bar, it was great). And there is the famous red cup, a great toy. On the right, Will met a new friend, Noah, at the Minocqua brewery. I took lots of pictures of the two of them checking each other out. Noah was very good at looking at the camera but Will didn't even one time, so that's as good as it gets.



All those trips into town for dinner gave us plenty of time to play in the car. Usually Grandma drove so I got to sit in the back with Will and make faces at him. Below is a video of us playing peekaboo in the car. Notice he's wearing his yellow beach sweater - Grandma made that for him and he wore it every day we were there.
