Mikko fell asleep onboard.

We docked at an island and we all took a hike on a tral at Voyageurs National Park.

Mike was helping David. Damon carried Mikko the whole 2 miles.

Hikers!

David picking blueberries.
I ask David how many blueberries a bear would eat - he said 16.

I asked how many he could eat - he said 4.

I asked how many Mikko could eat - he said 1.

I asked how many Daddy could eat - he said 60.

Making their way through the woods.
We all had some woodticks after the hike.

At the end of the trail was a beaver pond. Damon was blown away that in the middle of the island was another "lake" with a beaver bond in it.
Here is a beaver carring a stick through the pond.

Britta carried David on her back the 2nd half of the hike.

After the hike the kids jumped off the boat into Rainy Lake, with the help of Mike.

After the hike we went to Sha Sha.

The kids loved playing in the "Birdcage."

Eating at Sha Sha

Sha Sha is famous for it's chipmunks. David is holding a bag of peanuts and trying to feed them.
