Today was full of fun and excitement for all of us. We went to my cousin Patti's cottage which is located on Bill's Lake in Newago. All four of Patti's children (Dave, Rob, Julie, and Kristi) were there with their family's, and of course my mom and Bob were there too. The girls had such a great time playing in the sand and the water. Ally stayed out all day and got a little burned, but not too bad. Jerry and I took a ride on the sea-doo over to Rob's cottage which is across the lake from Pat's. Rob got married June 28 and as a wedding gift my mom, Paul, and I got them a margarita maker...so of course he had to make me one, so I made him drink one with me since Jerry doesn't really care for them. The girls had another long day, but did extremely well once again. We were planning to leave the cottage around their bedtime (7:30-ish) but got a late start out because Kristi asked Jerry to tag along in a kyack behind the pontune boat in the boat parade. Jerry and Steve (Kristi's husband) were quite the show, I guess! According the everyone that was on the boat (which basically included everyone except me, Bob, Lauren, and Olivia) Jerry was hilarious because he kept falling out of the kyack. To me it wasn't as funny because Lauren and Olivia were exhausted once again and needed to sleep. But we were all good sports and finally got on the road about 9:40, and of course all three girls passed out right away (Ally being the first, for once!). All in all, it was a fun day!!!
