YOLO

...... the words D-man spoke to me when he was trying to convince me of doing a “midnight swim.”  So I jumped in the lake screaming and swimming to the ladder as fast as I could before we jumped in the hot tub one night.  As usual, we did many things the same and a few things differently. 

The kids played capture the flag with the neighbor kids. We roasted s’mores. We took our 13th annual front of the boat trip picture. We went to Harrison for ice cream three times. There was a trip to Coeur D’Alene for contacts and a par three golf outing and lunch at Shooters. There was tubing and skiing and the swim across the bay and paddeboading and kayaking. There was tons of food and drinking. There was card playing, lego playing and reading of books. There was using mathematical equations to measure the deck height. There were evening boat cruises and dinner with neighbors and friends. It was magical again. 

Marshall and I took a kayak ride this morning before we left and we chatted about how we hope the boys realize how lucky they are to come to such a special place. I know we do.
