It was so refreshing to be up North in the fresh air and tall, tall trees.  When he was outside in the quiet of nature, he just seemed to soak everything in from the big sparkling lake (biggest bathtub he&#8217;s seen yet!), to the green breezing trees, to the boats coasting across the water.  He had smiles for everyone and wiggles to share with all.  He got to meet his cousin Karen and play in the hammock, (what a pretty finger you have cousin Karen!) and share secrets with Aunt Marlene.  He watched Mama and Papa ski around the lake with Karen and Jake, and watched everyone eat Uncle Jim&#8217;s &#8220;perfect&#8221; hamburgers- quite enviously Papa noted.  We got a bit of overnight rain, but the weather was gorgeous.  Though he didn&#8217;t get to experience lake water or speedboat rides, it won&#8217;t be long before he&#8217;ll be toddling after frogs and building sandcastles with Nana.  Don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;ll be back again next year!<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/08-11-07-%286%29-703971.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/08-11-07-%286%29-703569.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>    <a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/DSC03152-729856.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winklerworldonline.com\/babyblog\/uploaded_images\/DSC03152-729434.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was Alexander&#8217;s first overnight adventure to Uncle Jim&#8217;s cottage this weekend and he was so good, slept well, and absorbed into his little mind dozens of new sights, sounds, and smells.
