I'm enjoying my last day of summer with my girls! We had a great day at the lake yesterday celebrating Erika's 15th birthday! I now have all the cousins crashed out at my house continuing the party.

Thanks to my dad "Oppa" for taking them tubing and knee boarding for the entire day. He wore them out and we all came home and took a 3 hour nap.

I hobbled around with my lame foot but it's starting to feel better, thank goodness!

A friend of ours brought out canoes and kayaks (he owns a business) and that was so much fun too!

I went to bed feeling blessed! Being on the water makes me STOP and take in God's beauty and goodness all around me.

It's also good to see teens having good fun together with all electronics put away for a day.

GREAT WAY TO END SUMMER 2013. When you own your own business, it is always so hard to turn off your mind because of all the things that need to be done on a day to day basis. I've found that taking time to STOP and enjoy the outdoors is always good for my soul.
