Fremont Lake

My parents live on a lake in Michigan, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE spending time there. 
It just brings me back to my childhood
and all of the wonderful memories I had on/in/near that lake.

 We were blessed to have FOUR weeks in Fremont this summer.

My little ones quickly adopted my sentiment for the lake!

Clare happily swam with ANYONE who was willing to go in the water with her. 

 This was our first night on the lake...and the Huissens were happy to get out of the heat and into the water.

 Unfortunately, Phil wasn't able to join us in Michigan...

so Uncle Brian had to take over with the tossing of my kids in the air.

 Clare loved SO MANY aspects of this trip, and this picture highlights several of them:

COUSINS, lake, swimming, being outside, and having FUN, FUN, FUN!

 Grant, Clare, and Jeb were in and out of the lake more times than I could count.

 They perfected their synchronized jumping after watching all of the Olympic divers.

 Isaac liked playing by shore more than waddling around in a life jacket.

 I don't know if I've said it before (Ok, I just don't know how many TIMES I've said it before), but Isaac beats to his own little drum.  :)

 Our trip was filled with family and friends, and this was a night on the water with my Aunt Jan and cousin, Laura.  :)

 After several years of not being able to ski (pregnancies, broken boat, etc.), I was finally able to try my legs at water-skiing again.

 Ahhh...like riding a bike.

Now that we're back in steamy Florida, I find myself wishing that we were back on Fremont Lake.  Clare looked at one of the pictures and rubbed her face all over it.  When I asked her what she was doing, she told me that she wanted to jump inside the picture.  I know the feeling.  :)
