We had to make the same decesions 4 years back when our kids were 9, 6 and 4. I have to say it's important to be a part of your towns activities..my kids are all avid soccer players so during the fall if we get in 2 or 3 weekends up we we consider ourselves lucky!! 2 of the 3 also play basketball in our town rec. league but somehow we still manage to come up 2-3 Saturdays a month during the winter to snowmobile. It's all about give and take..sometimes we can't make the games because we feel being up here doing our thing is more important to us as a family. Life goes on...missing an occasional rec game is not the end of the world. This past summer in order to stay up here addtional time we registered our kids for soccer camps UP HERE!~ They had a great time and met some new friends even. Yes there are times when we miss things and our kiddos miss activities with their friends..but I wouldn't trade that for all the tea in china when I think of the things my kids have been exposed to and now love to do ; water skiing, tubing, knee boarding, nature walks, snow mobiling, jet skiing, time spent when family and friends come up HERE, driving and docking the boat better than their father, Thanksgiving with 25 of their relatives

, fishing, swimming out to the floating dock with their cousins, camp fires, hide and go seek at night, fireworks off the dock, taking the boat to Ctr.Harbor to see the fire works..the list is endless. You will NEVER regret buying a place up here. It will give you endless memories and happiness for the rest of your lives and hopefully your grandchildrens lives as well. Good luck with your decision and hope to see you on the lake. Remember though LAKE TIME is different than regular time. You'll understand this after you've spent some time here ;o)
