One of our favorite summer traditions is spending time at Lake Burton at a little cabin built by our friend's grandfather and great-grandfather. No A/C, no TV, no privacy, and really good friends...it's wonderful.
The children outnumber the adults...it's been that way for several years now.
And our four-legged, furry child is always invited. He loves it as much as we do.
This year was our most active year yet. The kids are older and able to do more. The Jet Ski was a big hit. Derrick gave rides to each big kid at least three times each...almost 20 rides around the cove made for sore muscles.
Those who weren't riding organized a pretty fierce water gun battle with the driver and rider. While they did a great job defending their fort...
...they were no match for the power of the jet ski. Derrick was an expert at shooting the water across the dock as he sped by.
Everyone also had several turns to ride behind the big boat in the "Monster Mania."
We had a few quiet activities. I especially love this picture of the boys during "nap" time. They are relaxing and reading on the porch, with the gun ready in case of an attack.

These two are a little young yet for all this activity, but it won't be long before they will join in on all of the action.
Oh, did I mention that we only had 29 hours together this year? Yep, all this activity in a day and a half. The kids (and adults) were sad to leave, but we had three sleeping, worn out children for the car ride home.
