bojifest 2012 (part 2)

as promised...a few more shots to finish out the trip

 

this NEVER gets old..

what a coincidence? two year (reception) anniversary

 

arnold's park

playing some skiball

naps at the lake are the best naps

sunset from the bike trail - those clouds!

playing at the beach

going out!

sunset on the lake

switch #1

 

switch #2



 

i tried to take about 100 self portraits on this trip, this is the only one that turned out even kind of decent....it's just so NOT a flattering angle :)

getting silly in the bathtub

 

 

love looking back on these phots...we really really had a blast

already looking forward to next summer's trip

 

spending time at the lake really helps me remember how truly lucky and blessed that i am.

and for whatever reason, relaxing at the lake seems to be the best medicine for my stressed out mind...it's amazing

bojifest 2012 (part 1)

just returning to reality from our weeklong vacation at the lake. still one more week off from school before fall semester starts...it's hard to figure out what to do with all this free time! but...who's complaining :)


morning coffee on the dock...heaven

sunrise over the lake

catching some rays

train rides around arnold's park

oh...i miss waking up to this face already!

a little pampering

morning bike ride

tried to catch her "no hands" riding - but kept missing it

snack break

this boy LOVED the boat

showing off his skills

testing out the water...he would NOT take his hands off that ladder!

a few more photos to come...

xoxo,

the lake...

a little bit of what our life looks like up at the lake...

we are so so so lucky that we get to relax up here throughout the summer.

it really might be one of my most favorite places on earth

project casa...

nothing like waiting nearly six years to landscape the yard! but you know what? when we do projects around here - we do them right :) go big or go home right? ha

some before and after shots for you...

last fall, before the tree was planted

after said tree was planted  

and what things look like today

some of the plants we purchased

and now i just need to find a home for this cutie

what do you think...whole new house right?

we lovey love it - and thank you thank you thank you to jeffy for helping us out - we could NOT have done this without him. & hats off to hubs too - he's been working his tail off the past two weeks getting things looking all pretty like.

summer according to my camera

i am absolutely horrible at taking pictures this summer! so there aren't many to share....hope you enjoy anyway ;)

(i didn't even take ONE picture on my camera from our whole weeklong vacation to Boji - yeah, what a slacker, huh?)
