Lake Days

We got to spend a lot of time at the cabin this summer. We were there right away on Memorial Day weekend. We spent a whole week there over the 4th of July and another full week at the beginning of August. We had great weather, low winds for most of our days. The boys did a lot of tubing and knee boarding. There were a few attempts at skiing - resulting in Tim's lost wedding ring, but since none of the "trainers" were skiers, we didn't give the kids advice that helped them ski. Gavin did make it up and around once, but that was about it.

We love it when the Rosenberger kids can join us at the cabin - such fun cousin time!

Obviously these two are always ready to head out on the tube. Here they are playing cards in their lifejackets - just to be ready...

We taught the kids to play cribbage this summer. Wyatt (Ronald) apparently has my dad's card skills - he was a formidable opponent.

We got a new boat lift (with canopy) for the speed boat late this summer. It came from across the lake and I thought Fred was crazy to suggest floating it over on barrels, but it worked. Thanks to help from Joe, Lee and Jared (and Jacob)we got the new one in place and the old one moved out.
