We were thrilled to have our "opening crew" here last weekend to help get the boat lift in!
It's a 3 man/woman job so that's usually the last thing we have to do!
Gavin and Brice have got this, while dad holds tight to the rope to help ease this
giant hunk of metal into position.
and finally....the boats in!
Lewin has always fished on his tummy, he cracks me up.
It's always fun having the littles here, so much activity, laughter and giggles
Some coloring in the morning
and swinging by mid-morning
This is a tradition for Scarlett and daddy,
he carries her out into the lake with his hip-waders on and she giggles.
Teach them young how to start a camp fire
and eat lots of s'mores
He still snuggles up to his mama on boat rides. <3
This one is having a hard time leaving.....
After the kids left, Rick and I stayed for another 3 days.
We mixed fun with projects
This is our 1st summer with Rick Brother Brad and wife Julie.
They purchased a cabin about 1 mile down the lake from us.
We happened to be out on the lake at the same time, so we stopped for a visit.
relaxing
A lunch date planned on the lake, we are being picked up by Brad & Julie
Fun to have family on the lake with us.
We have a lot of history on this lake and where our cabin sits. Who would have thought that someday we would own cabin's here and be neighbors? It's just so great.
Too cold to swim, but it's ok to swing my feet in the lake
We head back to Rochester today, we've decided it's too nice to hurry out of here, so we will finish some things up and then head out later this afternoon.
We miss our Rochester people...
Finishing up home-schooling for the year.
Did I mention my daughter is amazing,
Homeschooling was not something she planned to do but she does it so well,
all the while running a household and working as a nurse part time.
These kids are so lucky!
Oh, Jackie, what fun this cabin time. I see the love in all your photos. And the memories made, the love shared. So happy for your family to have this Up North retreat.
ReplyDeleteYes, Bri is amazing.
