Today was another perfect day at the lake. Smooth-as-glass water (perfect for water skiing) and sunny weather. So, we hang out at the lake doing nothing but living in our swim suits, jumping in the lake, getting out to snack or eat a meal and getting back in the lake. Sometimes I start to get a little antsy, thinking I need to accomplish something. Well, the accomplishments started out with a little water skiing for Helen and a half-mile swim for Steph and me. Later in the afternoon all the kids are in the water when, suddenly, I spot Helen climbing up the stump (Grandpa Roger installed wood steps on it today). She asks me if she will get the same Starburst prize as Edward did (6 Starbursts) if she jumps off the stump. Absolutely. So off she jumps with very little prompting. Next comes Claire and then cousin Lauren. They were not to be outdone by their little brothers, Edward and Marcus. Another great day.
