First Trip of the Summer

Our first trip of the summer is usually to the lake.  We look forward to time there because it's always so easy, so relaxing, so nice to see family.  The weather looked a little iffy and we even debated NOT taking the boat.  But we did and boy are we glad!  The sun was out every day except one.  We spent three great afternoons on the lake and found a great new spot to play.  It has a nice beach and then a small lagoon on the back side of the the beach where the kids played.  Perfect for everyone!


If you look close, you can see Colson laying in the sun trying to warm up after a swim in the lake!

Cannon loves the kayak.  This was money well spent last year!  He was working on his own anchor system for the kayak.  

Karin bought us all yummy suckers (that lasted forever!) and mom sent this picture to me!  

Sand was everywhere. Colson had to strip down each day to clean off the sand before getting back on the boat.  

We also went to the fun pizza place in Wilbur for dinner one night.  Great place.  Great atmosphere. And we got to watch the M's win!

Karin, Chris and Travis contemplating....

Building.  Both Cannon and Colson were working on this, as was Chris.  They can build four or five different things that move with a battery.

The boys also spent some time drawing.  The top one is Colson's.  It's a tractor pull and with people in the stands cheering!  The bottom one is Cannon's. He was drawing dump trucks and labeling them with the engine type, gear ratio, etc.

I went for a walk every day and saw many deer, as always, around here.

Enjoying every moment.
