Stony Lake Part One

We just got back from a beautiful week at a cottage by Stony Lake. We had the perfect weather, and the greatest time. We started off the week with our family of four and some guests for day trips.  We had a lovely time and it felt good to get away and not think about all that needs to be done at home. It was great spending some time with just the four of us.  Summer gets busy and sometimes I feel like I haven't really spent a lot of time with my girls, so we had a great time together.  It is also fun to watch how Izzy and Lucy continue to grow closer together.  They have started playing together and having conversations together without the interjection of their parents.  Each night at the cottage they slept together in the same bed, when I would go up to check on them they were snuggled up close and it made me so happy.  One of the days we spend on Stony Lake in a little kayak, after our ride around Izzy looks at me and said, "It was nice getting some time to spend with you alone just talking."  What a little sweetie!

Connor was super excited to try out the kayak and Izzy was excited to teach him!
