It was a cool weekend for July at Lake Shetek, but it allowed the cousins lots of time to fish, paddle boat, and canoe. The kids went out multiple times with Kensie in tow.
Carter took an interest in fishing with Grandpa and occasionally stole his seat at the end of the dock. They caught just two little fish from the end of the dock, but did lots of reeling and casting.
The 10 year olds, Maddie and Hailey. (They say that they are going to room with each other at Dordt College in 8 years)
Damon, Taylor and Makenna
Ladder golf was dangerous with Carter!!!!!!
Bean bags was also popular with the cold weather; Stephanie and Eric remain undefeated.
This year the boys took on a new adventure with Michael out on the canoe. They paddled through the lake inlet and then across the lake to Scheirers campground. Their stories are already turning into legends of great waves and amazing adventures along the trip.
The sun decided to make an appearance on the final day. Hailey did some skiing and both Taylor & Carter attempted skiing for the first time. They love love love to tube.
Little Harper was the most angelic baby ever to spend a weekend at the lake. It did help that she was held and talked to continuously for 4 days straight.

Kensie's very first tube ride with her mommy and Hailey. I do believe this was the only smile for the ride.
