Bay Lake Trip

Last week we rented a cabin on Bay Lake. It was the same place that we went to last year. It was another great trip. As usual, we visited every park within a 30 mile radius and went to some of them a few times. We did a lot of the same things as last year and mixed in a few new things. This year the girls went tubing behind a boat, got to hide from a tornado, got swimmers itch and went mini golfing. Pics of all of these things to come.

It's hard to tell what this is. But this is what it looks like when you are hiding from a tornado under cabin #4 with everyone else at the resort. There were about 30 of us in the tornado shelter for about an hour without power. Needless to say, the girls were pretty freaked out. They held it together and played games on our phones and played with flashlights for a while. It was pretty scary though.

This was the typical view from the dock.

There is a place in Nisswa that puts glitter on your eyes so you can feel like a big girl. NW did it last year.

I wasnt sure if she would follow through with this or not. But she picked out pink glitter and sat super still for about a minute.

Purple and pink glitter eyes.

Pink glitter eyes.  How cute..

Tourists.

This is what happens when dad "accidentally" hits his ball into the water while mini golfing. You get to grab the net and scoop the ball out. This happened on every water hole somehow. LW lasted about 5 holes and then she was done. She went back to the clubhouse and played. NW and I made it all 18.

Swimmers itch! NW got swimmers itch on day 2 of the trip. Her legs had red bumps all over them for the entire week. We never went back into the lake. We only swam in the pool. At the pool people were asking us if she had chicken pox as they were jumping out of the pool. Nope, just swimmers itch and it's not contagious. NW was a trooper and was a great sport. They really itched and she could have easily melted down. But we put on medicine all the time and took Benydryl at night to ease the itch. Can't let a little swimmers itch slow down the fun.
