The next morning, we gather together for breakfast at a quaint local eatery near the lake, Silverfin Haven, a cozy spot well-known for its fresh catches and scenic views.
Like always, I go with a high protein meal option.
Tons of eggs and bacon and a fish burger.
Curtis and his children are munching on plates of fish as well.
Meanwhile, Ariella and Sophia enjoy their sandwiches and salad.
And then there's Yumi. True to her eccentric tastes, she skips the savory options entirely and instead orders a massive bowl of shaved ice cream, topped with colorful syrups and fruits.
Outside the window, I notice snow beginning to fall, each flake descending slowly from the sky, creating a mesmerizing dance as they drift to the ground. The surface of the lake is starting to freeze over, chunks of ice forming along the shore. In a few more days, this place will be perfect for winter sports and activities.
