Lake of the Frogs

We all went to Lake of the Woods while they were here and it was an almost perfect day. The kids found 100's of frogs jumping around and they caught them and put them in buckets. Scott and Chad found some wood and made a boat and floated the kids around and everyone had a lot of fun playing together.
I said an almost perfect day though right?
Bad Thing: As we were cleaning up we sent Bekah and Connor with a wagon full of beach toys up to the motor home and Scott who were straight up the trail. About 15 minutes later we had everything all cleaned up and in the motor home ready to go when we all realized Bekah and Connor weren't in the motor home-we all figured they were in the back and didn't think of it until then. We all went out running asking rangers for help and screaming their names. It was getting late in the day and it wouldn't be long until dusk. Suzanna went running a completely different direction then what they were headed and somehow miraculously found them forever away right next to the highway. Both of them were scared, covered in mosquitos, Bekah was crying. It was a horrible scary experience. I guess Connor decided to take them on a "short cut" and then they couldn't find their way back. Needless to say, we kept an extra close eye on them the rest of the week!
