At the Lake

How do I sum up a terrific week with family at the lake in Minnesota? We had a fantastic time and I am documenting for the record, that I'd love to go for 2 weeks next summer. We had beautiful weather and great company. Highlights of the week:

swimming for hours in the lake, jumping off the doc, swimming like a pro in life jackets (William), playing on rafts, Grandmacita and Papa visiting for the first time, getting caught in a downpour on a leisurely pontoon ride with them, Turtle Races in Nisswa, Mini golf with Auntie Amy and Rachel (William and Maddie), bonfires and smores, eating out, eating in, and just relaxing at the LAKE. We loved every minute. We ended our trip driving up to East Grand Forks, MN where Russell is from and took part in the baptism of baby Lucas. It was perfect and definitely a highlight of our trip. Good, good times all around...William already asked if we could go back to Grandma Jeanne's. So sweet.
