A life without love is like a year without summer." Swedish Proverb

Ah summer time, I always find myself waiting for you with baited breath. I wait for your long hot days to turn laziness into a perfectly respectable way of being. I wait for all the fun that an extra four hours of daylight potentially brings. You summer are lakes, and laughter, roadtrips, campouts, star gazing and strawberries. This year we "summered" at the cabin, and the more time I spend there the more I believe that Echo Lake is a slice of heaven on earth. I am so thankful that my parents have such a beautiful place for us to come and enjoy the summer and each other. They are so welcoming and always do everything to make it so easy for us to come. I don't know what we would do without them. Ella loves nana and papa's cabin. She loves to waterski and throw rocks in the lake and spend time with nana and help papa drive his boat. This year she especially loved playing with her cousins Anna and Wheeler. Thanks for all the fun memories nana and papa!
