Lake Living
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 6:00AM 
A few days before school began good friends graciously let us stay in their lake house. I must say when I think of myself I imagine the beach as ideal for vacation mode, but after this lake trip I must say I am a full convert. Most schools already began in the area so the lake was empty and still. I felt a pure peace that I hadn't felt in awhile. We canoed, ate well, and just watched the children have the time of their lives. Although both can swim quite well we decided that life jackets were a requirement just incase they grew tired. Even I wore one for the long swims and I know my swimming skills or lack of could not save a soul. Safety first, right? Needless to say a lake shack is officially on my wish list. Ha.

oh wow. beautiful!
Sounds and looks lovely. The house is beautiful!
Your photos are amazing! I wish I had your (and your husband's) photography talents! My son moves so fast, most of my photos are a little blurry!
Looks wonderful...and the lake house looks gorgeous. The lighting looks soft and beautiful. A rope swim, canoe, dock...my kids have been saying all summer how we have never taken a lake vacation...it's true we always head to the beach. But I think a lake vacation is in our future. You look beautiful Paula

annie!
Those pictures are amazing! I live in Mobile so beach living has been my life, but while at Auburn we visited Lake Martin regularly. I never knew what it was like to take a dip in the water and not come out sticky and salty before then! I wish there was a lake closer to mobile. Can't have it all can we? :)
A wonderful place with a lot of natural beauty and freshness. The photography inspiring me and I was amazed to see the capture of kids jumping in the pool. The house is adorable surrounded by a number of trees and showing the art of peace and calm.
