After waking up we all got dressed and met mom, dad and Jon at the continental breakfast for waffles. Then we decided to go swimming. After getting into the water and playing with Kaycee for a while, the cleaning crew came through and told us that technically the pool area wasn't open for another 20 minutes and they weren't actually done cleaning in there. We offered to get out of the pool, but they told us not to worry about it. It's particularly funny because 20 minutes later when the pool actually opened, Kaycee was done swimming. It was pretty cold and she was shivering by then. Grandma wrapped her up in several towels and sat Kaycee on her lap while they played cards for a while. Then Kaycee and I went to shower and get dressed for the day. We hung around playing cards and keeping Kaycee from walking towards the pool for a while until Kaycee had an unfortunate fall. She sleeping forwards, landing on her hands and knees then trying to get up she slipped backwards and landed square on her back. She managed to soak her entire self in the process. So after changing her outfit again it was pretty much time to pack up and get on the road.
The drive to Monicals was only an hour long and Kaycee slept for most of it. She woke up right in time to make a quick stop at the Jerky shop in Minoqua. Anthony got some Kangaroo, Elk and Alligator Jerky and I got some ? jerky. Then we went a couple miles up the road to Monicals for lunch. We shared 2 family pleasers and Anthony got his own deep dish pizza. Kaycee got an adult portion of tortellini and ate the entire plate. After lunch we drove another hour to Boyds! We're here, finally!!
We checked in, but couldn't buy fishing licenses right away because the machine was down. Dick told us to not let that stop us from fishing!! We also found out that we weren't going to have access to a pontoon boat this year. It was quite sad to hear that a few other families had booked the pontoon all week long. We'll still do a shore lunch, just no pontoon for the morning. So after getting settled into our cabin (unpacking clothes, setting up the pack n play and generally putting things away so we could be comfortable) we got started on setting up fishing rods and getting bait on the end of the line. Dad, Anthony and I fished Long lake for bass with lures (no live bait) and caught a few, but nothing to write home about. While we were out Grandma, Jon and Jamey took Kaycee out for a walk and even on to the dock to look at the lake (she of course was wearing her Little Mermaid life jacket). Then we all headed to the Lodge for dinner. Tonight was Prime Rib (cooked rare, unless otherwise specified), green beans and baked potatoes. I did order Kaycee some spaghetti that she ate after she had tried prime rib. She ate well! I asked for my piece to be completely done and unfortunately it came out pink in the middle. I asked our waitress for another piece completely done and that one came out pink in the middle. She offered to have them go back and cook it again. This time it was better but still a little pink. I ended up eating it anyway. I hope Baby will be fine! Dessert was an inside out lemon tart (parfait looking dessert) and it was tasty.
After dinner we we took Kaycee back to the cabin and Anthony, Dad and I went out fishing again. We fished right off the island near Ottie and again didn't catch much to speak about. Before Grandma put Kaycee to bed she played for a while in Papa's shoes. She apparently doesn't want to play with the huge back of toys I brought, but instead with everyone else's stuff. Silly girl! We all played Mexican Train Dominos (except for Kaycee) to end the night. We never finish a whole game in one night, we'll see if we finish the whole game before the week is up.
