2020 :: 26/52 :: The Lake

we had a fantastic week at the lake!! it didn't go by too fast or too slow. we had wonderful weather and even enjoyed the only daytime rain we had. due to covid/pandemic there weren't as many of us this year, about 26, but we had so much fun still!! we got in a family fishing morning on my dad's boat that my brother hauled up, Al got to go fishing every night after supper until dark except for one night, I got lots of paddleboard time, and the kids had lots of lake swimming and cousin time.

trevor was either playing with nate and Noah (9 & 10) or Tula and Lia (5 & 6). tova loved playing with Etta (3) and Leni (1). I did lots of little girl braids, got some sun time, played lots of games (fast track was the new game of the week), Al and I enjoyed the cribbage tourney, and we slept ok (even tho the bedrooms were so hot!)

Al caught and cleaned lots of bluegills and a couple walleye and 1 northern which he and my cousin Khloe then cooked up for the fish fry on Thursday. Friday night there weren't many of us left so we had dinner on the patio at the restaurant and uncle tim bought the kids all huge ice cream treats; they loved it!


 just got there and trevor was already on the dock with nate & Noah!
 Tova loved casting her fishing pole. she ended up losing it in the lake on our first trip out on the boat.
