Saturday at Wayne Lakes

My Uncle Sonny had a cookout yesterday at his home. On Friday it was so hot and humid, and threats of major storms passing through this area that we thought we might have to cancel the cookout... but when we woke up on Saturday, the storms had passed and the humidity had disappeared.

This is the view from Sonny's back patio area.



He has several paddle boats if you are adventurous enough to give it a try. There is also a tree house that he has built nestled between two massive branches.



Becky (the non blogging sister) and my son, Alex set off on a paddle boat:



Audrey and Noah tried it, but the current of the lake seemed to drive them. Sonny finally helped them out:



Here is my Grandma C... always a little upset if you take her picture as she doesn't understand why you want to take her picture:



Grandma C's daughter, my mother, Patricia:



Audrey and Noah, my niece and nephew, stole off to the swings while we finished our meal. It was funny observing them when they were unaware anyone was watching. They would both stop and talk... then jump back up on the swing and swing away.



Sonny's backyard is filled with enchantment and mystery... he even has a forest that is visited by the fairies. I'm pretty sure this is even more beautiful at night when all those little lights illuminate this magical place.

It's a shame Sonny doesn't have some Granddaughter, they would love the Fairy Forest. Well he does have one Granddaughter they don't get to see too often, she's probably around 13 by now. Sonny always like to make things that he thought kids would enjoy. He even has a fairy door on his house and one on the garage. In fact there's a town in Michigan, where all the shops have a little fairy door.

It was a day that surely was blessed. Nobody in the families got pissed off at anybody and nobody went home madder than hell. The sun was out bright but the wind was blowing and it was a cool wind. No fleas, ticks or mosquitoes around anywhere. And the food was absolutely delicious. Somebody will have one hell of a time topping this next year.
