THE LAKE!!!!

So we are finally at the lake for more than a quick check on things visit. We slept later than we meant to this morning and missed Mass so we came straight on to the lake. I hated missing Mass, but I needed a little getaway, I think that we all did. The boys have worked so hard in school and Brandon has been working hard at work and we just needed a little rest and fun, and so here we are.

I have to admit there is something serene about the lake. Especially at night when everything has calmed down on the water. Even though I had schoolwork, I did it while watching the water. That makes everything better.

The downside to a lake place is that there is work that has to be done, cleaning, laundry, etc. It is all good though, like I said everything is better at the lake. Not quite as good as it is at the beach but second.

The boys got in some serious swim time, and I got some sun. Well I laid out, I am not sure how much if any sun I actually got. I have to get some color happening soon though. I even took a nap today, mainly because I had a blinding headache, but it went away.

The boys were able to do some fishing. I have to say that John Michael was as still as I have ever seen him for about fifteen minutes. While he was trying to catch his first fish ever, and with his Batman fishing rod Danny proceeded to catch three. The boy would drop a worm in the water and come up with a fish. John Michael finally asked Brandon to catch him a fish and just tell everyone he did it. Still o fish on the batman rod. Danny went back down to the pier and caught 2 more fish. The boy is a natural.

Well, everyone is in bed now and I am headed there myself. Looking forward to tomorrow. Friends, family and the water! YAY! I will say a prayer for you all tonight! I hope that Memorial Day is special for you all no matter how you spend it. Remember to thank those who fight for our freedoms everyday and say a prayer of thanks to those who have sacrificed it all for us. It is truly amazing to be an American. God Bless the USA and the men and women who fight to protect us daily. You are always in my prayers!
