A few days of R & R...

Each year the synod holds it's fall conference at a wonderful resort called 'Fair Hills' and we love it - that's the Man-Cub and me - the Man is in meetings most of the time - but it's just so restful to be at a lake with no phone/tv/computer for a few days...

We started out Sunday at a regular hotel (Ramada) with a pool and a big slide and a nice dinner out...

We left Jack with a friend so we were able to enjoy an evening away from the room - usually one of us has to stay with the dog and the other one takes the Man-Cub to the pool...
We got up the next morning and headed to Fair Hills...

Proof that the Canadians weren't the only ones in the water...

The splash after the slide - sometimes we're just not quite quick enough to get the shot we want...

A rather un-flattering shot of me (thanks love) and the Man-Cub climbing on the pontoon bike...

The Man-Cub solo - we love the pontoon bikes - it was a little windy for them today 'though...

The really old diving platform - it's taller than it looks...

The big boat that they use to take guests for a tour of the lake...

  5. What a fun weekend! The convention for our diocese is coming up at the end of October. It's in a conference center in Detroit. Not as much fun as your lake, I'm thinking. :)
