A Lakehouse Visit

In the middle of June while Brian, his Dad, and a team of people from St. Peter went to Houston on a mission trip, Kate and I headed to Chicago. We had a packed trip with lots of wedding preparations, but we did manage to get some good lake time in. Kate loved the lake this year. She played in the sand, went down her slide, floated in her rafts, ran in and out of the water, and enjoyed a daily paddle boat ride. She loved all the wild life especially the two new white ducks that have made Valley Lake their home. Nana also taught Kate how to drink from a straw, introduced her to juice boxes, and shower her the joys of popsicles. It was a great trip and we had a ton of fun as you can see from the pictures.
