TALES FROM THE LAKE

Snails, fish, flowers, friends and family, not necessarily in that order :).  Another well spent vacation at the lake,    Here are some random photos from our second home!  Why can't summer be longer.....

slippery snails - love the wonder in his eyes, warms my heart

From my deck flower box (apparently needs a weed or two pulled)

Gorgeous paper lanterns - so peaceful to watch them being released and drifting in the evening sky.

Splish splashin in the tube.

My paint ball boy - OUCH - those paint balls gotta hurt

Just as fun to watch the catch being cleaned (ewwww gross!!)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
