The kids were excited to participate in "Kids Day"
at the lodge or "Fun Day" as Kayla called it. Kayla and Brian stayed at
the lodge one day with other kids and two other activity leaders. The kids
participated in a treasure hunt, arts and crafts, as well as games, including
"What Time is it, Mr. Wolf?"
When we returned from jigging for walleyes with our guide, Kayla and Brian were thrilled to share all of the things that they had done and collected.
That night, we played with the kids in the sand box, went hiking, and then went back to the condo to watch TV and relax with a book. The kids were sleeping by 8:30 pm.
On a cold and rainy day, Jeff went fishing with the head guide, Wayne Lavers. They caught over 20 nice-sized walleyes and a 17" smallmouth bass. I stayed back at the cabin and played games and read books with the kids. We also put on our rain gear and went out to the dock and caught a few fish.
The next day we didn't have a guide, but we had a great time boating and fishing with the kids. It was a lot of fun.
We spent time together at the condo as anticipation began building for the floatplane ride that we were going to take after supper.
Wilderness Air works with Cedar Point Lodge to supply the floatplanes and pilots for excursions. Brian, Kayla, Jeff and I boarded the floatplane from the end of the dock along with two other passengers. Jeff sat in the front of the plane (copilot) for the trip.
Brian's and Kayla's eyes got bigger as the plane warmed up and reached a peak after lift-off. the deep blue lake was surrounded by a canopy of green trees and shrubs.
"It's loud," Kayla yelled to me above the engine noise. Brian hung on for dear life as he grabbed the window frame with both hands. He pressed his face against the glass to take in the fantastic view as the plane became airborne.
As soon as the plane leveled off over magnificent Eagle Lake, it wasn't so loud. The kids were totally relaxed and excited. I enjoyed watching Brian while he gazed over the beautiful landscape below. This ride turned into one of the highlights of the trip.
