Mike and the kids enjoyed lots of boating and playing on/in the water.  I did too, I’m just not in any of the photos. 🙂

At The Cabin

The weather was beautiful for Memorial Weekend at the cabin.  Sophia and I went on a nature walk to see if we could find anything interesting to photograph.  I think she was hoping for fox, turtles or eagles, but this is what we found.

Anyone Home?

We saw these crazy kids jumping in the frigid water when we got back from our walk.
