Lake Trip

Loving the lake!

Yeah, we made it back to the lake this year! Last year we missed it due to the anticipated arrival of our sweet boy. I've only missed the week at the lake three times in the past 38 years, two of those being due to babies being born...Ash and Gage. We all love our week at the lake each year around the 4th. What a treat!

Spent most of his time fishing

Relaxing on the water

Our boy turned one at the lake!



Catchin' some great air...you should see their faces on zoom...priceless!

A great morning fishing with Lloyd...a 5 1/2 and 3 1/2 lb fish in the mix!


He loved the water! Gotta love the turtle toy, too.

The weather was perfect and we were joined by my entire family throughout the week. Leonard was even able to join us for a few days. We spent the week fishing, boating, tubing, laying out, roasting smores, leisurely walks, seeing old friends and having great family time. Leonard and I skiied, mostly for the kids enjoyment and amazment...or should we say amusement, but we won't be posting pictures of that. We are so blessed to have such a great family experience with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas each year.

Picking out good bait

We have no phone service at the lake, although we do get 12 channels of cable and have a latte stand a short walk away. A bear was a common visitor to the garbage cans behind our cabin each night. The kids finally got to catch a glimpse of him this year as he stayed a long time and thoroughly enjoyed his nightly finds.

Everyone gets very sad when our week is done as it flies by so quickly. We love the setting, the activities, the company and the break. We can't wait for next year!!!
