Now in Door County.

We made it up to Door County (Egg Harbor, to be precise) late yesterday afternoon.  It was a pretty easy trip, besides having to make a number of stops for Ada who was battling an intestinal virus. 

The house we are staying in is nice, for a rental cabin.  Not sure I would pay as much money as my parents are paying for this place since it is obviously not cleaned between rental weeks very well (bug parts on comforters and our feet are black after walking on the tile floor for awhile).  It is, however, big and it is apart from other cabins which is good for the 5 dogs now in the house.  There are also two huge whirlpool tubs that I will enjoy and the girls have already enjoyed during this trip.

This morning was errands to get things we forgot and trying to find the places that we will be renting boats from and where the boys will go fishing from Monday morning.  This afternoon, after an unsuccessful nap time, we went to the beach.  What a nice beach Egg Harbor has!  Much better for little kids and feet compared to our two trips to MN and to NC.  Sandy, not many rocks, and shallow for a ways out.  The water in Green Bay was also nice.  A little cold to begin with, but all the kids were enjoying themselves.  Well, all the kids for the most part.  Hazel, minus a nap and not sleeping well last night, did not understand why she could not walk as far out into the water as everyone else.  Even putting her life jacket on, so that she could float and we could pull her, did not help.  She did not want anyone holding her, wanting to be the big girl and walk herself, even when it was too deep.  So, she only calmed down by digging in the sand.  Ada enjoyed attempting to swim with her life jacket on.  This attempt I was very happy about though because it means that she is gaining confidence in the water, which will work out well for their next set of swim lessons this winter.

We're definitely looking forward to the rest of this week, with more beach time, a fish boil, fishing and boating trips, light-house tours and shopping with the girls.
