Pickwick

Matt grew up going to his dad's lakehouse in Pickwick. As a result, he grew up with a love for the water. Although my family did not have a lakehouse, we did have a boat and so we too grew up with a great appreciation for all that lake life has to offer. We are very grateful that our children are able to experience lake life as well. So, this past Saturday morning we loaded up and took a trip to pickwick to see Grandpa, Grams, Uncle Michael and Uncle Christopher. It was definitely too cold to enjoy the water activities that lake life has to offer. However, we did enjoy spending time with good friends the Johnsons and the Haffleys. Grandpa and I also tried to introduce Ella Catherine to one of my favorite winter activities, roasting marshmallows but she wanted nothing to do with it. She preferred her marshmallows not gooey. Oh well, maybe when she is older.
We also brought Elway with us this trip to test out his new hunting skills in a large body of water. He did very well and it seems has gotten over his extreme dislike for the cold water(key to being successful as a duck hunting dog). He jumped in without hesitation and retrieved every dummy that was thrown.
