Mike here: The kids had a great Saturday afternoon at the lake playing "noodle hockey" on the ice. Basically take a swimming noodle and whack at what ever you decide on as a puck.

From left to right is Chrissy, Thomas, Lisa, Maranda (lying down), and Linda. The black lab behind them is Bently, ever present at the lake. Bently will be staying with us for a week while neighbor's Scott and Terri are on vacation next week.

Shortly after this photo was taken Scott hooked up a trailer to his four-wheeler and pulled the kids and us around the lake. After dinner we plan to have a bonfire and make some Smores. Lisa 's having a great day. With the line out of her leg, and the discomfort of it, she's getting around just fine. Oh, Her eyelashes are almost all the way grown in, she has eyebrows again and a fuzzy head.
