Summertime Is Here!

The summertime weather finally arrived yesterday afternoon! 

After a very nice climb to the summit of Owl's Head Mountain in the early afternoon, we spent the late afternoon and into the evening enjoying the water at the lake house when the wind was calmer and the afternoon sun was warmer.

Somehow, the kids managed to squeeze in kayaking, swimming, and fishing.

As always, I moved around on the dock surrounding the house shooting photos of all the activities and keeping an eye on things. 

As the sun began to set, we started on dinner. (Here is a little secret... keep your guests active and serve dinner late and everyone will love the food!) I grilled chicken pieces after marinating the chicken all day in a lemon, olive oil and herb mixture... we filled out the menu with corn on the cob, fresh green beans and some handcut homefries. I think everyone enjoyed their meal.

We really fit a lot into this one day! More importantly, everyone seemed to have a great day!
