Relaxing Weekend

Our new cat Dexter
Grandpa Les bought the kids a new blow up turtle. The kids had a blast with it.


Grant


My beach stud.


Hi everbody,
It is hard to believe that we have come to the end of summer. Escaping to the lake house on the weekend is our absolulte favorite thing in the world, and with school now in full swing, it will be harder and harder to escape. We did however spend one of our last weekends at the lake this past Labor Day weekend. The temps were in the 90's so the kids enjoyed some good swimming at the beach, as well as, fun on the speed boat.

I am very excited to report that I was able to get into the water for the 1st time this summer. Being 3 months post op, and pretty much healed up, I decided to give it a whirl. Floating around on the water was amazing. I can't wait until next summer. :)

Over the summer, Grant has gotten better and better at fishing. I can now say that he is my future star fisherman. Saturday alone, he caught over 25 fish. If we werent "catch and release" people, we could have had one heck of a fish fry Saturday night. :)

Mom, and Les brought Jacob down Saturday evening for some fun at the water, and a Steak Fry. Nothing like a good juicy ribeye hot off the grill. YUMMOOOOO

Sunday, Barb and Wes drove over and enjoyed an afternoon on the pontoon. It was nice for the kids to get to spend some time with them.

We also just welcomed for the 1st time ever, a kitten to our family. 9 week old Dexter came home with us Saturday from the pet store in Williston. While, I am still not sure if having a kitten is a good idea because of my allergys, we are going to give it a whirl. I am not one for having animals in the house, so as long as he spends most of the time outside and in the garage we are ok.

All in all, we couldnt have asked for a better weekend. Marshmellows over a hot campfire, while over looking the calm lake and moon lit sky. Really what could be better?

Happy Labor Day!
The Kochers :)
