Back from the annual mini-vacation. Lots of photos so this entry might take a while to load. Here is our view of the lake from the window. The first couple of days were cold and rainy.....

Watched the Will & Grace finale, which sucked, the first night. Then ER. I love ER!
Second day is looking better, but still cool and windy:
My sisters (who wish to remain anonymous) showing off their sandcastle building "skills": Got to go to the Mon Ami Champagne Company sans heathen children and brought back some Chardonnay and Cellmasters Red. The chardonnay was yummy, and the red is calling my name from the fridge ;) Played Clue™ . Mom won both times! She never wins. Yay, Mom!
Finally! Some sunshine! 3rd day is a charm! Here is Heathen Toddler who played for hours in the sand:
And the Heathen Baby who decided that while the wet and cold sand was fine, she would rather play on the deck when it got warm (Weirdo...lol):

Eldest sister pan fried some fish for dinner that night. A piece slid down in the burner and started a grease fire. Every time my younger sister would throw more flour on it it would flame up again! Even salt didn't work! It did burn itself out pretty quickly, phew! Here are the results:
Last sunset of the trip:
Waving Goodbye:
Thanks for looking!
