Here's pretty much all you need to know: it was hotter than the 7th layer of hell, and even more humid. Yep. Don't miss it down there AT ALLLLLL!!!!!!!
It had been unusually hot (even for there) really early this year, so the water temperature at the lake was already as hot as it usually gets in late August. It was hardly, if at all, refreshing or cooling. I was curious what exactly the temperature was, so I got a pool thermometer and measured - the surface was 94 freaking degrees.

At the lake house. Too hot for clothes.
Jackson loved to go on the SeaDoo with me.

It took only about 1/2 a day to convince Jackson to jump off the dock into the water. After that, we couldn't get him to stop. He loved it. Sarah tried to teach him to do the "thumbs up" sigh when she says "cool man", but he hasn't figured that out yet and always points his 1st finger.
Lilly watching her crazy brother and trying to figure out if she wants to get in the water.
End of another long day at the lake.

Lilly looking very serious. She is an unbelievably good baby. She makes Jackson look like a little demon, but he's always been a good baby too.

Again, too hot for clothes.
Despite the heat, we had a great time. I miss living at the lake, doing yard work, having a garden, doing ridiculous things with my friends from grad school (they know who they are and what we did - we'll tell mom in a decade or 2), . . . those were the days.
