Not as Easy as I Remember...

Stephanie and Mark invited us to spend the weekend at Mark's grandmother's house. She lives directly on the lake and Michael and I fell in love! We hope to retire one day in our own lake house, so this visit definitely gave us lake house fever!

On Saturday, Michael, Stephanie and I made the drive down and grabbed some lunch while Mark made a trip to the store to pick up food and drinks. Once we arrived, we grabbed a drink and headed down to the boat dock. We took the boat out and drove around the lake checking out the houses. There were some definite mini-mansions. We all had a good time saying what we would want in our lake houses some day. We headed back to the house after a few hours and Mark started dinner while the three of us went for a swim in the lake. This is a good time to mention Mark likes to cook and thank goodness for that because he is an excellent cook! He grilled steaks and asparagus wrapped in bacon. After washing the dishes and cheesecake for dessert, we headed to the pool for some late night swimming.

We started Sunday off right with bacon and eggs for breakfast (thanks Mark!) and headed out to the lake for some water skiing. My dad, brother and I used to spend summers at the lake and my dad taught us how to water ski. I used to be pretty good...fearless really, but that has definitely changed. I was able to get up on two skies, but it wasn't after many failed attempts. Michael had no problems and was up on his first try. We were both hurting the next day...we had sore muscles that we didn't even know we had! A huge thank you to Stephanie and Mark for inviting us out for a wonderful weekend. We owe you big time!

Look at those skills!
