Saturday

Saturday was hot. Really hot. The Jeffrey's were kind enough to invite us and the Schultz's over to hang out at their cottage in Pickney. We got there and we all jumped in the lake as the kids launched themselves off the dock into the water, as Brad lay there sunning himself, cuddling with his water noodle.


We took the pontoon boat out onto the lake and floated out there for a while, swimming in the middle of the lake. We took turns launching ourselves off the seats on the boat, with the lake water being the perfect temperature. Brad gave each of the kids a chance to drive for a while, which they loved.

The Jeffrey's got a new ski-doo, which is wicked fast. It's top speed is 80+. I had it up to 72, but couldn't get it any faster. The thing is a rocket. Nate and Maddie are finally at an age where they really like driving it (with our help, of course).



After dinner, Jim was tasked with building a fire, which he did - thanks to his friend mr. lighter fluid. We broke out the sparklers, and I got some cool pictures of the kids and the adults playing with them.

The pictures don't capture how much fun we had or how amazingly hospitable the Jeffreys are with their cottage. It was an awesome day. You can see the rest of the pictures here in the Kurt Family Photo Album.
Update: I just updated the photo album link above, because somehow a bunch of the pictures got left out
