The Lake
Hmmm…Tips for dealing with morning sickness. First, plan a long road trip. Be sure to choose a route with lots of bathroom stops available! Then drive all day and all night. Then take a long warm (not hot) bath and try to remember that its worth it to enjoy summer vacation at the most peaceful place on earth.
So we arrived in South Carolina to spend a week with the Roberts and the Zellers at the Zeller Lake House. The water was perfect and adventures were had by all! The teenagers mastered the wakeboard and late night games of hide and seek in the dark, Ashish attempted water skiing (with the inspired help of Chuck and Randy), Val kept everyone organized, and Izzie floated. Actualy Izzie and I floated since that was the extent of the water sport allowed us. And we sat for long hours, reading the Psalms and taking in the beautiful views. We painted and drew the water and trees. We napped. And finally, we came home much refreshed, ready to take on the next eight months!
