July 12

FINALLY the warm weather arrived - woo hoo!!!! Of course, it had to be a beach/boat day. By now, by brother in law and his family had been there for 2 days, too, and we were all itching to get in some quality time on the lake. The lake where we have the boat is really nice. It's an all sand bottom, which is why the water looks brown (the water is surprisingly clear). The lake is really shallow for a long way out, which the kids like as they can go far from shore and only be in water up to their hips. I loved these two pictures of Caty and Billy.

Later in the day, Caty had the minnow net and was fishing off the dock. I LOVED all the sparkles on the water and the way she was silhouetted against the background.
