Got up, actually slept in for a while - didn't get up till 9:00 am. I slept really well - not like me especially up North. Usually wired from drinking a little too much and it can be pretty loud up at the Lodge - but slept at the B & B and it was quiet and very comfortable. Got up and went to the kitchen to get some coffee - and bacon. It was really nice, got to chat with Sandy and her husband. (Travis's boss) Both are so nice. After that, showered then read for a bit and watched some TV. Did that for a bit then headed up to the Lodge. Chatted with Erica and Carrie - so many cool people up north this weekend. After breakfast was done, the Glacier Trail Lodge games started. This was a lot of fun - there was a competition comprising of several games and the winner got the "Glacier Trail Cup". The games were - Sack race, 3 Legged Race, Catching the Pig and Riding the Mechanical Bull. Well - Competitive Eric came out... I won the sack race, 3 Legged Race with Steve, Catching the Pig (the pig didn't move, a very tamed animal) and stayed on the longest for the men on the Mechanical Bull. It was so much fun and I had a great time doing it - the only problem is that now, I'm so sore from the bull that I can barely walk. So after the game, we had lunch. It was a roasted pig (the whole pig) tastey but sad. After lunch, hung out at the lake - went on the Pontoon boat. Came back to the B & B after that and relaxed with everyone. Soon after that, went back to the lake and helped set up for the Clambake Dinner. It was so nice, dinner was on the beach and it was catered. We set up the tables and got tiki torches set. It looked so nice and everything smelled so good. Slowly, people started showing up and we had the most amazing dinner. Lobster, clams, shrimp, chicken, corn on the cobb, salad, different salads - it was all so delicious. There was also a sundae bar - I got my chocolate ice cream with lots of toppings. After that, there were fire works on the water and then everyone hung out at the fire. We went up around 11:00 to the Lodge and made a fire and chatted with Todd, Sharon, Carrie, Erica, Mark, John, Jack, Todd, John & Travis. It was such a nice evening and had fun talking with everyone. Stayed up till after 2:00 am or so then crashed. It was a perfect day.
