One last post from the lake...

...I couldn't help myself, so one last picture from the lake.  I got up early this morning to start packing and as I was taking a few things to the boat house I realized I had to get the camera....back up the stairs I went and got this great one.

Our last week...

Our summer at the lake has come to an end...what a good one it has been.  Who would believe that 7 weeks could go by so quickly.  This week brought visitors to the cabin, the crane on the end of the dock, a neighboring woodpecker and Grandparents from Colorado.  Already looking forward to next summer!

The girls in their new dresses that Grandma Pam made.  

Playing with Papa Jerry on the paddle board

The fishermen!  I didn't realize how much Addison loves to fish

Sad face Gunner, he hurt his knee and can't play with the girls1

Summer Fun

We had a great weekend of lake time a few weeks ago, the weather is starting to change and it is good we got one last day of tubing and skiing in.  Addison had a great time on the tube with her cousins.

Gunner is such a good dog and so patient with the girls...

she LOVES the boat

great family pic

We realized of all the 100s of pictures we have taken we didn't have a good picture of all the girls in their 4th of July t-shirts.  

Quinn-Yoga or something like that

best purchase all summer, loving our new paddle board

Picking Berries

We had another great week at the lake.  Jon had to leave for a few days in Denver and then he is off to Alaska to fish.  We had a few hot days and lots of swimming in the lake to stay cool.  Thursday we set off early to Lori & Harry's to pick raspberries.  We are continuing to watch our caterpillar, his wings are becoming more visible and it might be time to move him to a flower pot!

our haul...raspberries, rhubarb, green peppers, sugar snap beans, green beans, fresh flowers...not bad for one day

kind of hard to see, but you can see the wings of our caterpillar beginning to form

Last week was busy with visitors, projects, water-skiing and relaxing!  

A great day for skiing...the water was like glass all day!  Go Rochelle

...and Jon

...and Mark

meanwhile there was a tea party going on at Grandma's

Rewards of a good afternoon of fishing

Papa Jim came for a visit

He and Quinn worked on puzzles

There she goes

Burger and a Beer in Leonard

too cute!

Great pic

Good thing we got his knee fixed so he can fly off the dock after a stick!  The vet will probably not like this picture

Saturday was HOT!  We spent most of the day in the lake

in our floaty chairs...

and rafts...

and off the floating dock

in order to splash Papa Mike

she had to have her goggles on...

at least she is using them

Great dinner of fried turkey, fish, pheasant and new potatoes

the work part of the weekend...washing the roof
