July 4th at Tennessee

Our last week in the states was spent in Tennessee at the lake house. Our groupee consisted of the Boyces, us and our dear friend Jenn. We had great weather, a ton of laughs, and came away with many stories to tell.

The boys and Jenn got lots of work done. The pile of gravel was finally conquered. They also re-dug and built the retaining wall holding up the house. Casey and Suzy reorganized the kitchen and laundry room.



We will never forget "the show" as they fished for the lost gas cap.

We lounged on the boat like it was our job, drank plenty of beer, and skied to the point of bruises and broken ribs. Jenn was a ski pro by the end of the week and Scott finally slalomed. We missed the Suzy and Casey show on slalom skis but Jacob was thankful she didn't try.

We had a ton of fun and we all were "dark as sharks." That will be the last trip to the lake until next summer.
