Gilbert Lake!

Simon visited Gilbert Lake for this first time this past weekend! We were thrilled to be there, particularly because it was Simon's first time (finally!) meeting his Aunt Biz!


He also had great fun playing with pine needles:


And playing inside with new (to him) toys (though he didn't quite get the point of the walker toy yet and preferred to crawl underneath it):


He also finally got to sit in the beautiful Amish rocker that's been waiting for him since well before he was born:


And he also ate in a very old (but still sturdy) high chair that's been at the Lake for several generations:


It only took us a bit over 2 hours to drive there, which was amazingly wonderful. Can't wait to go back!

  1. I'll bet Aunt Elizabeth was in awe of Simon! She sure looked happy.
    A caveat, however, on a different note: Those ticks LOVE the pine needles as well, at least at the cottage in Chetek.
    Lucky little guy, he's got two antique high chairs to use--one at the lake and one in Peru that Grandpa Jim used himself and refinished for a host of his grandchildren to use.

    This kid has it made!!
