The lake house was really good-sized: there were three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, a TV and a living room, and a nice porch. It was very comfortable, and there was a lot of food. Which was nice. :)
When we went inside, I met Devon, my second cousin (I think) who is eleven, lives in Carlsbad, California, and is going into 6th grade. She was fun, and Emme and her hit it off, since they're close in age. We went swimming in the lake. It was really shallow, and there was a ton of rocks, so you really had to pick your way around. Still, there were some deeper sections, which was nice. Jerry (mon oncle) has a paddleboat and a rowboat, so we went for a couple of rides. Later, in the afternoon, they went over to the artificial beach to make sandcastles.
Then I ate about fifteen snickerdoodles, which were delicious (hence the consumption of 15 of them).
Ha! The family reunion wasn't completely excruciating! I think that's a first!
Glad you had a good trip. Yer Binghamton uncle is pretty funny, isn't he? The lake house was fun; we need to convince him to let us house-sit it for a week or so. But come on now, fifteen Snickerdoodles? Really?
ReplyDeleteThey were small. Geez. I think it was less, anyway. Haven't you ever heard of hyperbole?
ReplyDeleteHyperbole? I'm an engineer. I know what a hyperbola is, but would never in a million years even use hyperbole!
ReplyDeleteAnd when are you gonna update your blog?
Ha, ha. We've got a little bit of irony there. Very nice.
