First Weekend At Our Lake Cottage

We just love our new lake cottage! Last weekend was GORGEOUS...75/80 degree weather...so we decided to spend our first weekend at the cottage. We spent Saturday cleaning and organizing. Lee's parents, Sam and Beth (who live right on the lake), came over to help us and so did Lee's brother, Dan, and his girlfriend, Abby. Saturday evening our good friends, Jeremy and Amy Ferris, drove up to enjoy the lake with us. Later that evening, Doc and Fritzi Nodine stopped over to visit (they have a house on the lake also) and gave us a cottage warming gift. On Sunday, we woke up to an amazing sunrise...what a way to start you day! We went to lunch right on the lake at a restaurant called Pier 32 with Jeremy and Amy. Later in the day our friends, Jeff and Rachelle Lindblom, came up to see the cottage with their daughter Livia.

It was a fabulous weekend and we can't wait to go back! Come up and stay with us sometime.

Our newly finished deck and stone. Lee took this out on the lake. (If you look close you can see Krue and I waving from the pier and Ferris and Sam talking from the deck above.)

Grandma Beth having fun with the kids on the deck.

Abby and Dan...they were such a BIG help! A good looking couple, I must say :)

Kiefer had so much fun! He handled the heat and sun well.

Check out our pretty pink paddle boat :) It came with the cottage!

It works well so that's what counts. Ferris was threatening Lee by saying he was going to get him a "Go Pink" flag for the cottage. He thought we would do well marketing cottage rental to sororities :)

Lunch with Amy and Jeremy Ferris at Pier 32.
