our first visit for the summer of 2011. i could have blog posts back to the summer of '81 when i was born. i grew up here in the summer and it's one of the most beautiful peaceful places - my favorite summer spot. as a baby i napped on the floor of the boat as my parents waterskiied... as a toddler, i waddled on the beach collecting sticks and sand... as a kid, i played in the fresh water spring that runs along side our beach feeding the lake making soups and dams out of rocks... as an older kid, dana and i invented different games in the woods at our house to play before dinner... as a teen, i began bringing friends and boyfriends to introduce them to the most wonderful place in my life. blessed to have a retreat as magestic as this. thank you, Nanny & Grandad - for building a retirement home you never retired to. because your first grandchild was born the year Grandad retired and you couldn't bare to be away from her. ME!
our first weekend was a bit different for 2011. we had to assist with all aspects of opening the house from winter, since my Grandad is still in a neckbrace from his trip and fall accident. hard work, then relaxing by the lake! no boat yet this year, as it would be too much for my Grandad to maintain on his own while wearing the brace. i miss our boat. and i miss skiing. but enjoyed the perfect weather weekend with family and my very dear good friend, Mary! whom i've known since middle school. old time good time friends.
view from our lavish beach...
rockstar parents. in every sense of the word.
Mary and I enjoying the deck and cocktails before dinner at the Yacht Club.
pre-dinner sight seeing over the lake...
thank you, Nanny & Grandad. for all you do for us. all the time. building memories with you never gets old.
breath taking...
back deck beers before lunch!
