The Bormann's: Sugar Lake Lodge

Bishop Family Getaway

This year we took our annual Bishop trip in the summer. We wanted to be able to be outside and have options of things to do. We went to Sugar Lake Lodge by Grand Rapids. We had a great weekend! It was so much fun!

We drove up on Friday, met everyone for lunch along the way and we were up at the Lodge by 2:30. We couldn't check in so we went to the pool. Madelyn was pretty reserved and didn't want to swim. I was thinking she might be sick but I think it just took her a little to adjust to the new surroundings. Jack, on the other hand, loved the water! He started dozing off as we were bouncing in the water. Later that night we made smores which was new for Madelyn. She loved them!

We all slept in the same room which made me a little nervous, since our kids don't sleep that well on the road. We bought a blow up mattress for Madelyn and she thought that was pretty cool. It didn't take her long to realize she could get in & out so that was a little bit of a struggle to get her to go to sleep. Jack did pretty well the first night but the second night he wouldn't go back to sleep in the pack & play after 3:00.....so he & I rocked until everyone else woke up.

The cabin was awesome! It had 2 levels and a main area with a walk out to the backyard. The kids could come in and out and run around. It was perfect!

This kept them happy & busy for quite awhile!

Saturday the guys played golf in the morning and we went to a nearby park. Madelyn loves going to the park. Jack even got to swing and go down the slide!

The local 4H chapter was hosting a service event for kids. The kids really enjoyed it. There was a ring toss, mini golf, bean bag toss, drawing with chalk, dress up and of course candy!

Later in the day we went to the beach and back to the pool. We went to the restaurant at the resort for dinner. We ate outside and it was really low key, which is a necessity when there are 4 kids under 4! The highlight of the day might have been getting a ride back to our cabin on the golf cart!
