Memorial Weekend at the Lake!

We had been telling Iris about the big lake we were going to see this weekend when we went up to the family cottage. Immediately upon our arrival she announced WATER and walked straight over to the lake and Uncle Mitch. The following is what happened:


Here is the partner in crime with drenched Iris (clothes and all) afterwards. She kept stroking Mitch's bristly beard:


















We were lucky enough to have upper 80 degree weather and the water was pretty warm for this early in the season too. Here, Martha and I are kicking back enjoying the deck:


















Here is a montage of our little water bug playing in the lake. There was a giant tantrum everytime we got out even if it had been 2 hours and she was shivering as she is here:

Iris gave Uncle Pat and I exfoliating sand foot treatments:

Jasmine had the time of her life having free roam up and down the beach. She is usually not much for water but eventually waded in up to her belly. The only time she disappeared was when we were all packed up and ready to go - Jeff finally found her 5 cottages down visiting.

Cruising on the boat, note those crazy cousins on Big Mabel behind us:
