Fish Lake Vaycay

We went to Fish Lake for a very quick family vacation this week. Just 2 days, which was plenty with a tiny nursing baby. Fish lake is about a 1/2 hour from Richfield, only 2 hours from us. We stayed at a place called Bowery haven resort, and checked out the other resorts up there for future trips.

So here's the kids at the cabin. I'm sure you'll all be relieved to see that Melissa included her blanket in the fun. The people next to us let the kids play baseball with them.


View from the cabin. . . . . .


We played by the water in the evening. The kids find throwing rocks in the water to be GREAT fun. Especially lots of little rocks at the same time.

The next day we rented this boat and drove it around all day.



We saw this deer on the other side of the lake!


Mandie found the extreme head support of her life jacket to be very relaxing, and fell right to sleep.


The lake is really big, and there were only a few boats here and there, so the kids got to drive the boat wherever they wanted!








Final word to the wise: If it's cold and windy, you still need sunscreen! Yes, we already knew this, but since it wasn't hot we totally forgot about it! Now we're all fried. To a crisp.
