Summer Bash at the Lake

This year we've been making a few more trips to the lake rather than heading to the beach. The girls like the water better and I  like the simplicity of it all. They've never been crazy about having the waves crash in their faces and frankly, I don't blame them. I love the smell of the salty air and the sound of the waves hitting the beach shore, but I prefer the peace of the lake any day.

When we heard they were throwing a Summer Bash we knew we had to take the girls. We normally do our lake trips early in the day and come home after lunch so this was something completely out of the ordinary for them. Excited? Oh they were ecstatic. 
There was music playing until a live country cover band took stage. The girls danced around and played in the water. Mike and I enjoyed taking a trip back in time to some of the older songs the band covered. It was so much fun. 

We have realized this year how much we love it here. How much we click with it. We're keeping our fingers crossed that where ever we might end up this next year that it'll be close enough to head to the lake.
