My good friend from college, Andrea, came up for a week from Colorado. She came to visit last summer (you may remember the 8-hour homemade skirts??) and could hardly believe that in the year since we've seen each other we bought a house and had a baby. A lot can change in one year! We spent just a few days in our ridiculously HOT house before heading up to the lake for a few days. Lately I've been wishing we lived at the lake the entire summer. There is nothing better than crisp and cool nights after hot days! I haven't felt the sensation of cold for a while (except when I stick my head in the freezer, which I've been doing a lot lately).
So, here is my time with Andrea (in pictures...). You can't really beat hiking, kayaking, boating, beach volleyball, huckleberry picking, swimming, reading and relaxing.
P.S. My dad has started this great tradition while we're at the lake. When Clara wakes up around 5:30 he takes her with him down to the lake for his morning quiet time/swimming ritual. That means I get to sleep until about 8. Yahoo!
P.P.S. The little champion has been sleeping 8 to 8 1/2 hours lately. It's glorious:).
