Todd, Nathan, Deuce and I took a family vacation last week, renting the Lepley family cottage on Sylvan Lake, just north of Newaygo, MI. It is an absolutely beautiful spot--lovely cottage, nice sandy beach, warm lake and plenty of kid toys!
Our second day up there was Father's Day, and my parents came out to spend the day with us. They brought along their two newest toys--kayaks!! Nathan checked them out on land, and then mom and dad hopped in and explored three of the four lakes that are all connected, taking advantage of the morning "no-wake" rule on the lake which made for perfect kayaking conditions. When they got back, they played with Nathan on the beach while Todd and I took them for a spin. It was so much fun! With all of my years of canoeing, the paddling technique felt a little odd, but I did really like feeling so nimble. And, since both Todd and I like to steer when canoeing, each of us having our own kayak worked out well! :)
After we all played in the water, we had a yummy dinner on the screened in porch, and then mom and dad headed back for Ada. It was a perfect summer day!
