We stayed on the east shore and hit Cisco Beach,early. Had a lot of fun observing and watching everyone. The kids enjoyed the fresh fries, and the scones were great. But, the cisco were soooooo dang delicious, and my absolute favorite. I really enjoyed eating a few with the tarter sauce. I might be able to polish off a daily limit if left alone with them and the sauce. Kudos to the people who put in all that work and make it such a success!
After Cisco Beach, we hit the marina and I got in the water for about an hour, but had no luck. Had a lot of fun meeting people and talking as they were on the ice, or in the water.
A lot of people were on the small amount of ice between the shore and the first dock. The cisco seemed to be sporadic with some getting a lot more than others. There were so many people on the ice, I wouldn't let the kids get on it. It looked like some people had gone through, but maybe the shed soaked clothes were from something else. The kids did have a ton of fun playing with all the caught cisco lying around in various bags and buckets.
The polar plunge was a hoot to watch. We didn't go to the later festivities, although the kids wanted to see the fireworks. I didn't really realize how much was planned from Friday-Sunday. Seems like a lot of work is put into the event. My oldest thinks she wants to do the plunge next year- We'll see.
Overall, it was a really fun experience and the kids had a great time. For me, it was good because they did. I also really enjoyed observing and talking to people at Cisco Beach and the Marina.
Really fun couple days!
