Summer Fun with the Family!

The day I arrived back in the Twin Cities from the Boundary Waters I drove to Park Rapids to spend the Fourth of July with my family! Natalie came home this summer, I don't blame her for not wanting to come home during Christmas time every year. I mean leaving snow and winter for snow and winter. Not a good trade.But I am very thankful she is able to come home! We miss her dearly and if I could I would fly to AK more often. It was a very short but sweet time! Thanks to Marcus, we got to do some tubing behind his jet ski!! We did what you are supposed to do at the lake! We ate, talked, ate, swam and repeat.
There is something about lakes, rivers, or just water in general that is so peaceful and I love being around it! One of my favorite activities in the water is water skiing! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to do that this summer. Someday I would love to have a boat so I can ski! That is why I am pushing my parents to retire and buy a lake place for the summer time! (I think my sisters would agree!) I have learned to appreciate time with my family. Isn't it interesting to think about why we are born into families and live together and then one day we start separating and beginning new journeys on our own. I mean I love exploring the world, well the states so far. But I wonder who started this idea of how families should work and when kids should go off to college and move away. I'm not worried or disappointed with the set up I'm just curious as to how this idea evolved.
