Crystal Lake

While we were in Michigan last week, the entire family went up to Crystal Lake for the day to relax and get away from everything. It was a nice break, and everyone had a great time. My Aunt and Uncle own a "cottage" on the lake.... I like to refer to it as the party house. Here are a few pics and commentary from the day.


Ellie and the lobster squirt gun


Once she figured out how to fill it, we were all in trouble


This would have been the moment that my Grandma yelled, "Tom! Get her off that jet ski!"


This would have been the moment where she yelled, "Tom! You can't take her out on that jet ski! Bring her back up here right now!"


This would be the moment where she shook her head in disgust, let out a heavy sigh, and went inside. Then she would have been mad at us for the rest of the day, because, Oh Yes! We did take Ellie on her first jet ski ride. Video coming in the next post hopefully.


Ellie drinking it up with the ladies on the raft.


Ellie learning the importance of can cozys at the lake. Who else would be a better teacher, then my Aunt Trixie!

Ellie's first fishing experience with Dad. I think she was secretly hoping we would catch a dolphin.
