More Lake Updates

Hello all.  We are sad to hear about Sue still being so sick.  Such a terrible time for her right now.  I wanted to post some pictures from our trip to the lake house last weekend.  We had a great time as always but missed her presence terribly.

As Jana said earlier, we had very good luck fishing this year.  The sunfish were plentiful.  What we didn't expect was for the neighbor boys to catch a HUGE snapping turtle in their net off of the swim dock.  Take a look at this monster!!!  We had some friends join us this year and we were catching smaller fish to use as bait, much to Ellie's chagrin.  She didn't really know what to think of that but she enjoyed checking the lines in the morning.

The girls spent lots of time in the lake and Kaitlyn was brave enough this year to jump off the dock into our hands.  Baby steps.  They of course loved the pool again this year as it was a comfortable 81 degrees.  Every morning they did their chores, watering the plants, cleaning off the spiderwebs, and taking out the trash.  We tried to take the wave runner out but before leaving the no wake zone we realized it wasn't running correctly.  We eventually packed it back up after 2 days of calling the boat shop for ideas and changing out the spark plugs among other things.  It was running much better than it did originally but there is still something wrong.

The girls kept asking when Goldman and Mad Dog were going to stop by and make us some bacon for breakfast.  Ellie made sure to tell our friends that they did not make bacon as well as Goldman.

We are really hoping that next year Aunt Sue will be well and will be able to join us.  We really missed her.  Here are some more pictures from our time there.  Hope everyone has a great week.

John, Jana, Ellie, and Kaitlyn
