We had a gorgeous week last week. Monday started out in the 50s with sunshine and we had sunshine SIX DAYS in a row and it climbed up ti 80 degrees on Friday YAAHOO!!!!
The boys were hired to put in docks. I did not get down there in time to get their picture putting them in though.
Jordan and Isaac headed to the lake about 10. I went to pick Doug up from work, do a few errands, get Allen and do another errands and we got up there about 1:30.
It was BEAUTIFUL!!! Not a cloud in the sky! I LOVE spring at the lake. I love any day at the lake :)
So Isaac and Jordan did 3 of the 4 docks they were hired to do. They will do the other in two weeks or so; probably the same day they do Dad's.
Doug and Allen raked leaves........
And raked some more.........
Oops, I forgot to go take pictures of them working! I snapped this one of Jordan. He is quite happy to be done, but still wearing his waders. What a handsome young man he is! It was amazing to watch them swinging the sledgehammer and carrying dock pieces. They are quite strong with muscular arms. I am glad no girls were there :::snort::: Doug was amazed at Jordan's arms! It showed off his tattoo nicely, too LOL.
Allen was not happy to be raking and took a rest.........
Switched to the blower. But work is work and it wasn't fun either way LOL.
All right! Docks DONE! Let's clean the boat. Isaac cleaned their little boat while Jordan went for a fishing license. Isaac won't need one until the end of Sept. when he is 16.
Still cleaning........
They decided to lift it into the back of Jordan's little pickup and drive it to the lake. They needed Dad's help for that!
Isaac sat in the back to make sure it didn't fall out. They didn't have to drive far. The lake is 3 houses down :)
Isaac fishing on Bob's dock..........
Allen and Isaac fishing.........
Jordan trying his luck in he boat! Nobody caught anything though.
I sat on the swing and read a book and knit a little. This was my view while everybody slaved away. So peaceful and beautiful!
So spring is here and we are thrilled! The weather is turning ick again next week with rain and cooler weather. Hopefully it warms back up again and is dry. I hope to spend 1 night each week through the end of the school year at the cottage. It is SO much easier now that Jordan drives and can get himself to-from work and church activities and then come up afterwards :)

That looks so nice. Every summer I am jealous of your lake times. My kids would give anything to go fishing. They have poles, but have only used them a handful of times and wouldn't know what to do with a fish if they could bring it home. I grew up fishing on my Papaw's lake, he kept it stocked with catfish and bream for us to fry of a Friday night. And memee made hush puppies, and we kids would fight over the crispy fried tailfin.
Sigh.
Great pics Kel. I, too, envy you the lake and time away from home. By the way I tagged you. Sorry. It is an easy one. Love ya.
Everything looks so beautiful and peaceful there. The kids sure have grown and Jordan and Isaac really work had with the docks, of course Allen does too. Enjoy your summer. Grndmb

I'd love to have a lake to sit at and just soak up the sunshine! ahh....
