So we took Wil and a few of his friends up to the cabin, just the boys, Den and I. That was a lot of testosterone running through that cabin, with me as the only female to ground them! LOL We really did have a lot of fun with them, even though they ate everything they saw! Our grand plan was to wake them up early and take them on an 18 mile bike trail around our lake so it would wear them out right off the bat. Wrong.
We all took off on our bikes, I swear they rode the entire 18 miles like they were on the Tour de France. I was always behind to the point I never saw them. They would just stop at intervals and wait for me to catch up. But let me to you, I wasn't doddle"ing", I was going as fast as I could, not enjoying any of the sights. I'm used to it though, on the ATV's and snowmobiles I am always bringing up the rear. My philosophy, I usually am the one that tips or wrecks, so I would rather hit the ground at a slower speed, rather than higher!
Amyway, we had a great trip...did all 18 miles in an hour. Did that wear them out? No, they went back to paintball, fish, eat, bottlerocket wars, eat, jetski, and did I say eat? We did take them on a ATV trip just before dinner. Well, the second set of pictures shows the problem we incurred. We had 2 boys on one ATV, 2 other boys on another ATV, Den on his own and me in the rear, again. We came across a mud hole, Wil got over it, but his friend got stuck. Den and I were back helping the other ATV get unstuck. Wil went around the corner and called out to his Dad, " Should I go?" Den said, "What's the problem?"....Wil answered, "There's a lot of water." Den told him to make a decision. He did, and went on.
The water is up to their waists, they are standing on top of something there.
It' hard to tell from these pictures, but the water was up to the top of the seat. Den is in the orange shirt, wading out to help them. He was our hero, he got it out, drove it on through the rest of the bog, turned around and brought it back. I don't know what we would do without him!
Yeah, we couldn't figure out what he was thinking either! Needless to say, when we went to eat from there, there were some dirty boys in our group!
