Life is Better at the Lake!

Labor Day weekend is always kind of a bummer for me, as the final curtain lowers on carefree summer fun.  School’s back in, and with it the treadmill of appointments, meetings, sports, and assignments pick back up.  This year, however, we were fortunate enough to be invited to our friends’ beautiful lake house in Wonder Lakes, IL.  While the weather bordered on chilly, you can bet it didn’t stop these six boys from some serious lake-house fun in the water.  Even though they spent most of the late-afternoon in sleeping bags trying to warm up, it hardly put a damper on the day. 

So many of use grew up going to our own family’s lake or beach house, or that of a family friend.  What great memories and friendships are forged there- life is truly better at the lake! 

These hearty midwestern boys aren't about to let the 60 degree weather keep them out of the water!
