Up North - Day 3

What is up? The first day we were here, it was so sunny and hot! Today was cold and raining ... again. And it's supposed to be like this most of the week. It won't stop our fun though. This morning, we headed to Elmer's Fun Park in St. Germain for a little horseback riding and go-carts. H and I rode Maverick, and C and Brian rode Jasper. The trail went along a river, and through gorgeous woods. It was absolutely beautiful (a bit of a surprise, actually). We were the only ones on the trail with the guide. It was great. Then we rode go-carts, which the boys loved.

After another lazy day at home, we went to Dan's Minocqua Fudge to pick up some salt water taffy, toffee and peanut butter fudge, then over to the Thirsty Whale. We were some of a few brave souls sitting in the stands watching the Min-Aqua Bats water show. Brian's seen the show a million times, and I've probably seen it at least six times myself. But we saw something we've never seen before -- the harness jump (see video). Crazy stuff. One of the guys was pulled by the boat -- another was pulled by the guy in the front -- and another pulled by the middle guy. And then, they went over the jump. It poured on us. But we came home to a warm, toasty fire and snuggly boys. Now, that's nice.
