What a day, we're beat!

That is me and Rick are beat, kids could keep going, like the energizer bunny.... This morning woke up around 8:30, made a pot of coffee, sat out on the deck listening to the Superior wave up on the shore... Made a big breakfast for the family, we headed to the main resort and walked the shore, Nicholas caught a sucker fish from shore... we walked on the bridges over Poplar River - very cool.. Rick was to worried to go any further then the bridge, such steep slopes to scary to think what could happen with one of the kids if they fell. We decided to hit the Alpine slides, but right when we got there Michlyn thru up in the car... I am not sure if the steep drive up the mountain made her sick? We were just gonna turn around but she reassured us that she was feeling much better. At the start we decided Rick along with Brooke was going to stay back and watch Me, Nicholas, Erica go down the slide, we got up to pay for this and Erica and Nicholas chickened out... they were scared of the chair lift height. So I went by my self, it was peaceful looking over tree tops and it was even more fun coming down, it wasn't what I was expecting it was more pleasant. I was thought I was gonna be in for a shocking ride... but you can go as fast as you want or slow as you want.. The only part I actually got scared and even screamed at was when I got to the very bottom and a stupid crazy beaver or something came running towards the slide and scared the crap out of me... I guess other people where saying that too.. was the Beaver trying to tag us? I have been wanting to do the Alpine slides for a long long time, so I am happy now I can say I did it! kids would have loved it if they weren't so scared to try it. After slides we came back to the Villa and went swimming.. Then we went back to the main resort and brought the 3 older kids to a KIDS NIGHT OUT movie and pizza... Rick, Brooke and I went and had Dinner in the pub, had a couple of beers, played a game of shuffle board. Brooke loved the alone time with mom and dad. After dinner and the kids' movie we took a drive up Onion Drive - A LONG ROAD TO No Where, but it was beautiful. Came back to the villa went out to the shore and watched the Lake again and skipped Rocks. Off to bed now for another fun day in Lutsen!
