While Opa and Grandma B were hiking, the kids were at camp taking some tennis lessons, making clay pots and spending more time around the pool and making new friends. |

Wednesday night we have "The Golden Review", a show of hidden camper talents. Our two oldest grand daughters had been practicing for days to put on their show. Here are a couple pictures of one doing a skit and a gymnastics show with new-made friends. All the others did fantastic as well, of course. |

The nice thing about the Lair is that you can do whatever you want. One day Sharon and I took it easy, while some of our family went to the lake for some paddle boating, wind surfing and eating gravel at the beach.. |

The boys went up to Dodge Ridge, a ski area a few miles up the road. It is a good place to go treasure hunting underneath the chair lifts. Trophies included a broken camera, a helmet and a bunch of scrap iron. But it was fun. |

The whole family joined some others for a drive and fun at Natural Bridges, a grotto where a river goes underground for about a hundred yards. To get there we had to hike a mile or so down from the parking area. Then after a bite to eat we entered the water with inter tubes or took a cold swim. |

This was also a good time and place for our son-in-law to do some rock scrambling. Notice the stalactites hanging from the ceiling as water seeped through the limestone above. |

The kids found a slug and tiny frogs and our daughter was "brave" enough to endure the slimy creature on her nose. |

But all good things have to come to an end. The following morning after the staff serenaded us at breakfast, it was time to pack up, say our goodbyes and drive home. |
