There are hundreds of reasons to spend time at the lake. Being near the water is a very special privilege. If you have a lake home I urge you to take advantage of it and live up your summer with family and friends.
Our lake house has been our go-to vacation spot my whole life. My childhood memories are filled with days swimming in the lake, making homemade ice cream, and lighting fireworks.When I think of the lake house I think relaxation. Our lake house has become a sanctuary for family and friends. We often find ourselves saying things like “ugggg I just need a lake day” or “And to think I could be at the lake right now”. This is because on the lake we can remove ourselves from our day-to-day and just relax or explore the outdoors. In our rural part of TN we are exposed to an array of wildlife just outside our windows. At the lake, you can sit on the porch and watch the birds for hours and not worry if there is something better that you should be doing.
This Memorial Day the families are getting together to spend the holiday. This means that we will be grilling, fishing, and swimming all weekend long. Frogs are calling and birds are chirping which means that summer is officially upon us. We love summers here because it gives us a chance to get everyone together. Our family travels all the way from California to be in their home on the lake. We start any lake weekend with a good fire on the front porch. Playing johnny Cash radio on pandora sets the tone for the evening. The smell of citronella is in the air and family is all around. What could be better?
Don’t hesitate to spend a summer on a lake because it is the best time away from home!
