\nThis is the lake I grew up on. The lake I had my first boat on at the age of 13, that I’d wake up at 7am every day of the summer to go out water skiing with my best friend Shawn (who came up with the name Day19) on. The lake my dad lives on still, who’s “summer” house is on an island on that same lake 2 miles from his year round house. I can’t recall ever having a bad time on this lake. My dad had a mortgage burning party (when you pay off your home and you burn the mortgage papers) on the island the 1st of August and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

\nIt was also the first annual beer tasting party. Everyone brings a 6 pack of their favorite brew and tries others all day. See you there next year.

\nThe 30 year olds had the kids questioning our sliding off the dock set-ups.
\n
\nThe Jeremy x Karaoke Ryan double hand holding slide must have really freaked em out.

\nMy dad became a victim of Eli and the hose.
