Thumbs up Lets Start This One Again.....

I have thousands of happy memmories from my summers at the lake....even when it rained, and we were stuck inside all day, we would make cookies with grandmom, tie flies with grandpop, play board games on the breezeway, take naps and listen to our whole family tell stories........when it was nice outside, waterskis, swimsuits, fishing poles and lunch on our dock were faviorites.....

....This year I made a new favorite memmory.....My Daughter got to experience the lake for the first time, she is 2 years old and full of wonder and wows about life. ( and she absolutely loves the water )
....We stayed in Alton, at Ledgewood ( a little different, but no less beautiful, than Meredith, where we had our cottage ) A family named Duarte owns the place and they were some of the nicest people we have ever met. ( thanks to Dick and Linda if they are readers, Glenn )

We had a great time, and watching my 2 year old, Jordyn jump off the dock into the lake over and over again made memmories I will treasure for ever.

We went north to Franconia and we swam in the pemmigwassett ( not sure of spelling ) and swift rivers, did the flume and basin. We ate lobster rolls, blueberries right off the bushes, took walks and naps and ate breakfast together every day. ( something that never happens in jersey)

....We took over 500 pictures! I can only hope my daughter can grow to respect and love Winnipesaukee as much as I do, but she sure seems like she will. Looking forward to the spring, and heading north again.....
