"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

July 13-16 Hattie’s Visit

"To my grandchild, you are my reminder that the simple things in life bring the most joy." –Unknown 
Hattie's visit to the boat was all about being on or in the water. She requested we pick her up and go straight to the boat. No wasting time in Lewisburg...at least not at the start of her time with us. It was the perfect weather to spend hours on the water. In fact it was the only way to stay cool. It was very hot and humid and the lake water felt amazing.
 
You know it’s hot when we don’t even want to get in the car to go have ice cream. We saved that actually for on the way home. Since it was hot and the smoke from Canada was making life a bit miserable in Ithaca we headed to the house on Wednesday. But we still had fun. We stopped for lunch at Dairy Queen topped off with a dip cone. Then we had fun playing at the house, watching a movie, eating popcorn and ice cream and chasing fireflies.

Hattie was so happy to be on the boat.
Summer just doesn't get better than this.
Tubing on the lake is the best thing to do on a hot day.
Driving the boat is almost as much fun as tubing.
Swimming in our favorite little cove is so fun.
But it can wear a girl out.
It can wear a big girl out too.
We always leave a little time for art. Our first morning was so nice we painted outside.
The bike trails are so nice around the marina so we always take time to do a little riding. We did over three miles and even rode over to the children's garden.
Dairy Queen isn't fancy but the ice cream is pretty good.
Even better at the house with chocolate syrup and sprinkles.
