Lake Success

Successful family time = this scene of 5 Tongens floating was the most common sight of the lake week!

Grandma Bev and her brother Ralph helped Micah and his brother Paul become successful swimmers.

 Successful skiing

Successful tubing

Successful relaxation

Successful cannonball

 Successful posing for the photo shoot

 Sam was successful in getting most of his teeth this summer while we were travelling, but the mosquitoes successfully bit his face while we were home for a few days.

The other success during the few days we were home between our western trip and the lake was that Anthony made it fun for Sam to have his first hair cut.

It wouldn't be a successful post about the lake without a pretty photo of my cousin Jessica! (Don't miss Sam's cute little toes.)

Every successful morning begins with exercises, 

 a canoe ride,

or two,

and cuddle time with Aunt Faye. 

Afternoons bring Euchre games, 

boat rides,

goggle-boy sightings,

iphone scrabble,

 amazing photography by Karen,

 fun with Taylor,

and more Euchre.

 Evenings show off Grandma Bev's botanical success.

We successfully included Micah and Paul in our after dark dinners this year.

 The biggest success: time with my awesome (you could even say "successful") family
