the 3 F's

Fish, frogs & friends...three of the main ingredients of summer wouldn't you say?

Only true friends would spend time together vacuum packing salmon heads to use for shrimp bait!

Fun at the lake! Such happy, happy memories I have of playing in the lake growing up...It was so fun to spend so much time at the lake while we were in MN. Thomas, Ella & Claire all went tubing for the first time, & Ella even got up on waterskiis. Swimming & skiing at sunset have got to be the best...

The Lord is my light & my salvation - whom shall I fear? PSALM 27:1

Owen thought it pretty funny to hose down all the adults!
It was so great to be in MN this year over the fourth of July. My family has always "lake hopped" every fourth. First, we go to my aunt & uncle's lake cabin on Pickeral Lake. It was great to see many from my dad's side here and eat a fabulous lunch complete with mom's traditional creamed peas & new potatoes.

In the afternoon, we always head over to my mom's side.... Gordy & Sandy's lake cabin on Jewett Lake. The kids are surrounded by cousins their age here and there is always an abundance of food & laughter.

Next to the Lord, nothing lights my way more than family, both near & far...
