Pickeral Lake Vacation

Well another year of vacation at Pickeral Lake with the Feyen's has come and gone. We had great weather and wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere but at the lake. I think we were in our bathing suits almost the whole week and yet I still have about 8 loads of wash to do. How is it possible that kids can get clothes dirty when they only wear them for about 2 hours a day? Oh well it was worth it.

We did the usual trip to the candy store, swim to the camp across the lake, turtle race, pinata and trips to the 4 connected lakes and a swim on the sandbar. On the swim back from the camp, I was treading water waiting for Becky catch up. While treading my wedding ring and diamond fell off and is now in 33 feet of water in the lake. It was quite a shock because I couldn't get the ring off before we left. The kids were more upset by it than I was. They were concerned that Paul and I weren't married any longer. I then had to explain to them that it wasn't the ring that made us married and they wanted to make sure I get a new ring ASAP. I think this time I will stick with a plain band. Uncle Ken said maybe I should get one tatooed on my finger and then would never have to worry about losing it. I don't think so.

It was good to see everyone but also be home. It was fun to have Allison and Sarah stay across the lake and come visit us daily. Also it was nice to see Rachael and Mike when they came up. Allison, Sarah, Amy and I were saying it is time to get a Feyen get together with the cousins and not all the Aunts and Uncles (not that we don't enjoy your company) We will have to work on that for later this summer or next summer.

I will post pictures of the week next time I get to the library and have high speed.
