Every summer since returning to Minnesota from Pennsylvania, we have taken the week of July 4th to go to Woman Lake Lodge with Catherine’s extended family (truth be told, its our sister-in-law’s step-mother’s family that’s been going there for 60 years!). Here’s the view of Bungey Bay from the beach at the resort:
Its a prime example of the beauty of what’s “Up North” in Minnesota. This year, the kids were completely and utterly ready, counting down the days until we “go to the cabin”. We spent the week relaxing in mostly wonderful weather. The kids got to play with their cousins and the adults got to relax. It was great fun. Here’s a couple of pictures of the week’s activities:
Zakari (with his cousin Colin holding a play fishing pole in the background) showing his best “Why did you interrupt me when I was showing CoIin how to cast out a fishing line” face.
Carolina getting ready to re-enter the brisk lake water.

An example of the wildlife found at Woman Lake (”Papa Bill” got wonderful pictures of the Bald Eagles, Loons, and Herons he spotted during his boat rides around the lake).
Zakari and his cousin Colin preferred riding in the front of the boat during our sunset boat rides each evening.
Carolina and her cousin Ben confirm the boat isn’t about the crash by careful examination of the depth finder.
This is why we go on sunset boat rides at Woman Lake.
Carolina actually went water skiing (more like water “boarding”, in that the boat dragged the board and she hung on to it, but she insisted it was fun.
Aita and Zak went for a jetski ride around the lake which Zakari ended up declaring “awesome.”
Not to be outdone, Catherine and Carolina also jetted around the lake as well.
