Last Day of Summer Vacation

Summer went so fast! What a summer we had! We were able to see all our Great Grandparents and most of our cousins! Our new boat was put to great use! We only have a few physical reminders - that we are new to the boat driving! Tomorrow is the first day of school for the kids - Lauren is a Junior , Derek 8th, Savannah 5th & Grace in 1st grade! I go back to a quiet house for the day! What a change that will be!! I am actually sad - It was a really fun summer up at the lake - now we have to wait 9 months to do it again!

Here are a few highlights of our summer!We got to spend a lot of time with Steve. Two family reunions & some lake time - He came up to the lake even on Week nights just to ski and would leave in the morning

We learned to surf behind the boat - Here is Lauren showing her skill - we were able to surf without the rope for a few minutes - Also great view of the lake house behind her

Savannah learned how to waterski - she even mastered going in and out of lake! Who knows maybe she will wake board next year!The most fun of all -COUSINS - they had loaded down the tube with 5 of them on a 3 person tube! They didn't stay on very long!!! What a great summer no wonder we are all depressed!

Looks like you guys had a blast up there. We miss having a second home we can use like the beach house we used to have in Crescent city, that was fun to go away for days at a time. Laurel looks like she has mad surfing skills, she needs to come surfing with us next time we see you guys. Now you can look forward to the Italy trip!
