Perch Lake

After our long vacation David going back to a rigorous school schedule was a pretty big adjustment for the kids and I. He was staying late a lot of days and when he was home he was doing a lot of studying. By mid-August we made sure we finally got to explore our new area and headed to Perch Lake just over the border in Wisconsin.

We rented a paddle boat, kayak and stand up paddle board.

 The scenery of green surrounding the entire lake was pretty majestic and the lake water was so clear.

 We used the paddle boat as our floating home base held our cooler bag with an obscene amount of snacks and the kids loved hopping on and off to the different toys.

 We found out Hattie much preferred to be lower to the water where she could feel it.

 All the big kids were so good about giving rides to the little kids on the paddle board.

 One of the hilarious parts of the day was when David and I were kayaking and then he jumped off to hop in the paddle boat with the kids... but they took off without him. They felt so powerful that for once they were in a vehicle where they could out run the parents.

It's so fun to live some place new and experiences things like this just 30-40 minutes from home.
