Summer Fun

Labor Day weekend is almost here and it looks like summer is about finished. This will be a summer that our family will never forget. While we may mostly remember the insane hours worked or the occasional difficult customer, we did have some moments that we want to remember.
At the start of the summer we bought Brock this little four wheeler for him to scoot around on. Well Ady and Brock discovered a "more fun" way to ride the 4 wheeler. Brock and Ady have both managed to wipe out going down the little hill in front of the lodge, but that hasn't stopped them from doing it again and again.
Kasey and Ady took an afternoon to paddle/hike to Rose Falls. Here they are in front of the water fall. Ady is turning into quite little canoeist/hiker girl.
I was able to get away twice in August to do a little "research" on fishing in the area. We get a ton of questions about fishing and now we know a little more about a couple of lakes. This is one of the fish I caught that night, this one is a 19 inch Smallmouth Bass.
One of the kids favorite activities this summer was roasting marshmallows or "smashmellows" as Ady calls them. Ady is even able to do it sometimes without catching the marshmallow on fire. If you look closely at Brock you will see that he has one on his stick and one in his hand.
And what does Brock think about those sticky white messy mallows? Well, he likes them a ton, and everything else that gets stuck to them as he waves his stick around. Usually we find that he eats a couple pine needles, some ash, some dirt, maybe some grass and a whole lot of marshmallow.
Here is Ady and Brock sitting in front of the totem pole at our lodge. Seems that even though we often feel like we are in a little over our heads as we learn our new business, we enjoyed our time together.
And our final picture for today is the picture from the dock looking down the lake. We have spent countless hours working together this summer trying to help others enjoy their summer vacations and time on the lake.
