sun, swim, sleep, repeat.

Our vacation at Heath's Resort was wonderful. Despite the heat (100 degrees all week!), we had a great time with family and stayed cool by swimming and boating. Our cabin was just right for all of us and the resort was lovely. We have decided to make this an annual event! We are looking forward to many more 4th of July memories with family on the Whitefish chain! Check out all the photos. :)

Emmett liked spending some quality time with grandpa Tom.

Ethnie was a fish all week. She would have stayed in the lake all day if I let her! On the second day, she developed a bad case of swimmer's itch. :( Not fun for her. Poor girl. She was very itchy, but such a trooper about it. We went through a lot of Benadryl.

 

Martina brought an inflatable pool for the littlest kids to put on the deck, which was awesome because they could still play while we made meals or wanted a break from the lake.

Emmett loved exploring down by the water, especially the docks.

Dad and Nancy,

Thank you so very much for such a great new family tradition. It means a lot to us. We had an awesome week and can't wait until next year! Don't get no better, right? :)
