I am covered, head to toe, in bug bites. I am a miserable squirming 5 feet of itch, bumps, and scratch. And the best part is, we don't know why. The Cabin gets used by a lot of different branches of the family, some who make long journeys that involve hotel rooms to get here. So in case it's bedbugs, Leigh is ditching her nice comfy bed tonight for the couch. Damn and blast.
But yesterday!
Yesterday we were the water Frylings. The morning started out with a proper Sunday breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon with coffee and all the fixings. Then I managed to get most of the blog post from the day before dealt with while everyone was off the wifi, and we packed up to go to Leelenau!

Top down, open road y'all!
Leelenau isn't so much a tourist trap as a historical tourist catch-and-release program. If you wanted a picture perfect coastal Michigan town, this is it. I only took pictures of the historic district, but the houses and shops are really beautiful too. If we go back this week I'll take some of those.

| Who's the guy in the obnoxious shirt blocking my-- oh, hi dad. |

| The Fryling Womyn. |

| This is a Duckboat! It goes on the road AND in the lake! |
After bopping around town and enjoying the old familiar sights, we went out to the swimming point. The water was perfect, clear as a bell, the sand soft and warm.
Perfect.
Danielle, my sister, has a really cool little waterproof camera thing- she took the rest of the pictures you'll see.

Mer MAN!
After our swim we went home, had some tasty brats for lunch (br-ah-ts as in the sausage, not small ill mannered children) and re-packed for our next adventure, kayaking on Crystal River.

It was a very Lord of the Rings type of kayak trip, with little sun,spooky dead trees and silence. Except for the crashing sounds of mom getting stuck in an embankment, or dad picking a fight with a tree.
Afterward, we feasted on turkey sandwiches in the park for dinner before packing it in and going back to Cedar for ice cream before calling it a night. Which I didn't do til much much later, since inspiration struck and I got further on a chapter I'm writing, and caught up with some friends. But all in all, a fun filled, packed day of awesome.
