After letting the boys stay up on the first night, Stuart and I ended up sleeping in a bit later on Saturday morning.  Logan and Connor were already up and playing on the Tablets, so Stuart and I quickly got us ready to meet up with the Kaos.  They suggested to drive a short distance to Fallen Leaf Lake for a hike.  It was a small beautiful lake and we walked on a nice trail around the lake.  The four kids were so into finding sticks to build a base that we did not think they appreciated the scenery as we did.  We did not stop long to take breaks as there were mosquitoes around, and later we headed back ending our short morning hike.

    We stopped at a popular cafe for lunch, and the wait was long.  The kids were hungry, but fortunately they were entertained by the games the Kaos brought.  After eating, we walked over to the beach nearby and we decided to kayak there.  We all put on jackets and paired up to get on the kayak.  Once Logan got on board, he told Stuart that he was scared, and was just holding on to the straps.  Stuart tried talking to him about trying different things, but Logan did not loosen up the entire time.  Connor was paddling and following my lead to be synchronized to move faster.  The only thing he would not change was the way he gripped the handle bar; he kept telling me that “I got this”.  He was having fun and we paddled back and forth to meet up with Stuart/Logan, Ted/Marcus and Michelle/Mckayla.  Later he started hitting his hands against the boat, and he suddenly lost interest and wanted to return to shore.  I think we were out there by then possibly like 40 minute already, so I was fine for us to return to shore.  Connor attempted to dip his body in the cold water and play in the water until everyone else slowly returned to shore as well.

    The kids had an icy treat afterward, then we returned to the hotel to clean up.  The kids played at the hotel activity area while the four of us enjoyed a cocktail or a coffee before we headed out for dinner.  We had a reservation at this German bar and the kids immediately drawn to their foosball there.  We tried different food and, Michelle, Stuart and I enjoyed their beers as well.  After stuffing ourselves, we stopped by a grocery store for some breakfast and snack for the next days.  The boys were rushing us to return to the Kao’s living room again so they could have some game time before we had to turn in for the night.
