We have soooo much fun at the lake. It is the one thing I know we will do together as a family. When we are at home the kids seem to run here and there playing with their friends, Joe has work outside to do and I have my stuff to do. So it is a great blessing to be able to go to the lake to get away. This trip my older sister brought up our nieces (our little sisters girls) and they love playing with Gracie and Austin. We stayed at the Dixie Haven Resort which is a 5 room building, somewhat like a hotel but with kitchenettes. We stayed for 2 days and docked our boat on the water. I forgot my camera so these pictures were taken by my sister and brother in law. We hope to be able to leave our boat docked up there next year so we don't have to take it back and forth. We had breakfast in the room, subway for lunch on the water, and to a restaurant for supper. Both evenings we (Joe) built a fire in the fire pit and sat for hours talking and laughing. Joe's parents came up Sat. and also found a room in Webster to stay for the night. The next day we took them for a boat ride and tried to teach Gracie to ski, but she needed help in the water and it was way to cold for Joe or I to get in the water, for some reason my kiddos don't care what the water temperature is. : ) We bought disposable camera's so as soon as I get them developed maybe I can post more pics.
