We packed up our gear and even brought the doggie. On to Bent Tree and Lake Tamarack. We stayed at a friend's cabin, and tried multiple activities such as canoeing, beach volleyball, swimming, rafting, and jumping into the frigid swimming hole. We totally wore the dog out! He slept like a log when he finally got back home.
We always see Deer when we are up there, but this time we had 3 sightings of Black Bear! The last sighting was a mother with 2 cubs. They were so cute. Of course I was very glad we were just driving by and not walking near the bears. Whew!
Another couple joined us at the cabin. We hadn't met them before. They brought their white German Sheperd named Loki. He was so adorable! Sport kept trying to "herd" the poor guy when we were playing fetch in the shallow stream. Eventually, the dogs worked out their heirarchy and calmed down though.
We dined on organic/fresh zucchini squash (3 different kinds), asparagus, and wilted chard - all flavored with olive oil, garlic, and spices. We grilled the squash and asparagus, along side the various meat options (Burgers, Brats, beef hot dogs, and tuna steaks). Delish!

I was hoping for a Trivial Pursuit or Apples to Apples game with the 6 of us after dinner, but for some reason the other couples went off with the 2 canoes (in separate directions) for some alone time. Matt and I walked a bit and sat by the lake, and then cleaned up and went to bed. It was a very quiet weekend for the most part.

Sunday, we met Matt's Family at Harp (an Irish Pub) for a nice brunch and birthday celebration for Bradley and Ms. Rachel. Rachel and her hubby are off to Ireland next week. How much fun? They will have a ball!
Matt had the fish and chips (they have the most amazing tarter sauce there. they make it themselves). I had the Corned Beef and Cabbage. some very very tender and juicy corned beef. Delicious!

Later that night we finally got some game time playing ApplesToApples with Alex, Gorkem, and Gulru! For once I was winning, it was sweet!
