Crab Lake

We spent time at Crab Lake early this summer.  We were there for seven days. We actually did not stay at the house, but actually stayed at the Alpine Lodge, and went to Crab Lake either by car or walking. The girls spent time like usual, swimming, crayfishing, reading (mostly Milena), fishing, and playing with their cousins: Sam, Joe, Ben and Sophie.  This time though, they met new cousins: Alex, Lily and Benny,
sons and daughter of Dave and Katherine Martin who were also there at Crab Lake.

After mami gets lost driving to Porcupine,  and everyone was tired of the long trip, we were still able to get one picture in the late afternoon at the Lake of the Clouds View Area....
