At the Lake

Once again my aunt and uncle generously let my family use their lake place for a week. This year, my whole family was able to make it. As you can see, we had tons of fun.

My parents celebrating their 40th Anniversary!

Some of the ladies, relaxing

Cousins on the mega-tube

Mike, wakeboarding for the first time

A couple of nice fish

Even the nine-month-pregnant mom went for a tame tube ride. (Having two doctors on the boat made me feel secure!)

Trying to shake the oldest cousin from the hammock!

"In our real life"

In the van this morning, Lily said, "Mom, I think it makes God happy when we talk about Him. Do you think if there are any people that don't know God is in our real life that I can tell them about Him?"

Is there a word for the feeling that surged through me at that moment?

Summer Fun

While Grandpa and Grandma spoiled Lily, Mike and I got a weekend away. We biked around Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet and took in a Minneapolis Pops concert at the Lake Harriet bandshell.

On the fourth we spent time with some good friends watching the Twins, enjoying a relaxing supper out, and taking in some fireworks.
We even had a chance to stop by NWC and take a stroll down memory lane. This is the park where Mike proposed to me more than 11 years ago!

I was hoping to have a second post with some video footage of the backyard fun we have been having in the hot weather, but I can't upload a video! Any suggestions from you bloggers out there? Anyway, this action photo will have to do.
