We went to the lake this afternoon after we did some yard work. They pretty much complained they whole time. City kids don’t know the meaning of hard work.

We were able to get the dock out this evening. Yay!! Now I feel like the cabin is open and ready to play and rest.

T had to man up this year and help in the water.

Then we had an impromptu 74th Birthday party for Grandma at Mr. Twisty. It was a great way to kick-off summer.

It feels like a magical place and just a 15 minute walk from our house.

We have been trying to be creative with our date night walks

These crazy kids are in the freezing cold river. The begged and begged to go swimming in the river. So here we are in the middle of May and I have kids in the river.

I admire how intentional he is with our children. They each something special and different from him and he rises to the calling. Carl is a great father.
