Due to Tom's teaching schedule, Sam's t-ball games and swimming lessons, and my upcoming conference, we aren't able to get away for summer vacation.
So, we spent three days on Sweet Lake instead. Easy meals out on the deck...swim races to the diving platform...a gentle swim and float on the sand-bottomed Lake Owen...a canoe trip across Sweet Lake...an evening ride on Uncle Thom's pontoon boat to chase turtles and tour the sunken "ghost" ship...the adventures of a 6-year-old sleeping in a bunk bed for the first time...a quiet soak in the clawfoot bathtub...
It feels like we've been gone a month.
