Crystal Lake {Part 2}

As I mentioned, it was so nice to see family we hadn't seen in a while.  We saw Uncle Al, which was so nice!  He had us all laughing, as usual.  It has been years since we've seen him and it was nice getting an update on my cousins, Eric and Brooke.  We also saw Aunt Karen and Uncle Dick.  It hasn't been nearly as long since I've seen them, but it's always so nice to catch up.  Please pray for Uncle Dick, who ended up in the hospital the very night we saw him.  Thankfully, it sounds like everything will be fine, after an infection in his leg heals. 
We were sorry we couldn't attend cousin Lisa's weddng yesterday, but the dates just didn't work out for our vacation to extend beyond Sept. 1st.  We wish her the best, of course!

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of our visits with my relatives!  I guess I was too busy catching up.

But.....I have loads of pictures of lake time with the kids.....

A nice neighbor, Ed, took the kids out on the lake.  They went water skiing, jet skiing and tubing.  They had a blast!  Here's Teresa, Moira and Eileen...



Aidan and Molly Grace, waiting for their turn...


Yes, she is picking her nose lol...

Erin preferred the sand...

Seamus preferred the beer bottles...

Sand castles were built...

Bridget took this picture of a frog (or is it a toad?) on the shed's roof...

The swans came, even though we didn't want them.  They make for a nice picture, but they are just not nice.  And they don't leave once they come, especially if you feed them :)  And of course if you feed them, they poop, which also is just not nice...

Swimming in the middle of the lake...

Grandma and Seamus

All that activity makes for some tired kids!
