Work and Lake

How can August be right around the corner?  Both boys have been working hard, and playing a little.  Conner was highlighted on the above post from the Bowersock power company.  The playing part came when the three CNMs heading to Harvey's Lake.

Here is the extended Marsh crew enjoying an evening bonfire by the Lake.  It was a big gathering, as always.  Almost thirty people this year, and not all were able to come.  Beautiful weather, beloved family.

Several canine family members too!  Five total.  Even one from Kansas.  This is Carson on the paddleboard with Namari.  Sweet new addition from the Michigan Marshes.

Conner endeared himself to the extended fam not only by teaching young Mychel some new fishing skills, but also doing some major landscaping tasks around the property.  

This is a great picture of Grandma and the CNMs, but as the following picture reveals, it is taken in Chicago.  The four of us chose the same flight home, with a short Chicago layover.  Mother Nature had other ideas, and sent major storms through Chicago, forcing us to miss our late evening connecting flight.  We couldn't get another flight to KC until the next evening!  

Enter Jill and Ronan, our Chi-town saviors. We stayed the night with them and had a wonderful day of touring Wrigley, eating Chicago pizza and having an all-around great Chicago day before concluding our summer vacation.  Thank you Jill and Ronan!
