Time to Boot







Boot lake 2017!  We headed first to spend the night with the Bryan Klan for some celebrations and high flying rope swings but left early in the morning and headed to the Nicolet with camper in tow.  We were going to stay until Wednesday but it didn't take long for us to extend our trip until the following Sunday for no other reason than it was better than going home!  The kids made their annual pilgrimage to the candy store for candied rocks, taffy and cigarettes.  We had the traditional theme night party: Hollywood.  Batman, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry and Brett Micheals all made an appearance and we had garbage bag and tin foil catwalk competitions.  Morning and evening fishing in the canoe bookended the afternoons at the beach.  The kids snorkeled and dug holes at the beach and hitched a tube ride around the lake.  There was plenty of time during the day for lounging in the hammock to read and work on flint/steel fire starting and the nights were for games in the camper and around the fire.  The weather cooperated and it was about as perfect as anyone could ask for!
