There is just something about a visit to this place. This place where in the warm summer afternoon the sun's shimmer off the water is so strong it is blinding. This place where in the late afternoon we can curl up with a family member with a good book or a card game. This place where that same afternoon sun shines brightly into the kitchen where we prepare the BBQ for the night's family feast to fill our bellies, hungry from swimming and playing that last game of cornhole. This place where watching the sun dip lower in the sky never gets old (the best things in life really are free!). This place where the afternoon turns to evening and the fire glows and the card games are brought out where best conversations are made (long after the young one's are asleep). This place where a morning boat ride before big waffle breakfast is the best part of a little one's day. This place where our family gathers, some few or all.....young and old, differences are always put aside and we just are.....together, ever conscious of each passing moment and what a blessing it is. This place where the best childhood memories are made, after all, these memories of time spent with family are the best gift that I can give them.

Thanks for putting words to all the feelings that we have about home and family. It was a fun weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it
