A Weekend at Lake Sylvia (Ian, Pictures)

We had the opportunity to extend the fun half of our summer past Labor Day last weekend. Our friends the Conrads invited us to stay an evening at their cabin, then spend Saturday fishing and generally enjoying a lovely day outside. I believe that Ian showed that he is definitely from Deb's family that day, as he enjoyed fishing the entire day.

The lake is gorgeous, especially first thing in the morning.
If I hadn't been so dedicated in the pursuit of sleep, I would
have tried to take pictures of the stars early Saturday morning.
I had forgotten how gorgeous a clear night sky is when there's no ambient light.

Ian was ready for fishing, first thing Saturday morning.

This is Rika. Needless to say, Ian and Rika became good friends.

"Uncle" Joe was an extremely patient teacher Ian (and me, for that matter).

This is Ian with Curt Conrad, Joe's father. Thank you to the Conrads,
for giving us some wonderful memories. It was a great way to end the summer!
