A summer sneak peak

Monday, Summer had a dentist appointment in the morning up in Whitehall.

Oh, shoot. I guess we'll have to spend the 70 degree day at my dad's.

I often have to remind myself that people pay BIG money to vacation places like this. We are so incredibly lucky.

My dad's dog, Callaway. She will not be dry again until November.

See what I mean?

The first times down at the lake are the best times for finding treasure.

Treasure hunting is Summer's favorite pastime.

Crazy animal.

Walking down to watch the carp roll.

The big, hideous, pale fish spawn this time every year year. They used to be all along the shoreline around the lake. Now they stay at one end where there is a bit more vegetation. Pretty fun to watch them.

Boat rides.

Crying when your turn is done.

Tractor rides.

More boat rides.

It should be no surprise that these two were completely soaked(swimming) by the time we made it back up to the house.

My Dad just got back from the World Show in Ocean City, MD where he swept the competition. My photo just doesn't do them justice, but they are simply stunning. I cannot recall exactly what his wins were, but know it included Best in Show, lots of 1st places for categories. I am so proud! They are just amazing! Hope to have more and better photos soon. we have plans for a photo shoot with them floating on the lake(part of the competition is that they actually have to float like a real duck!)

So what was going to be lunch at Papa's, turned into dinner with Grandma! When we finally left at 8pm on a school night, I found myself longing for summer vacation! Soon enough I guess.

Cannot wait for many more days like this one:)
