Aunt Mary and Grandma Walker spend the afternoon on the deck

at Aunt Mary's lake cabin (Lake View, Iowa), and our 

'crowd' joined them!

 This is Oliver, Alex & Allison's dog, resting on Ann & Don's porch while

 the boys (John, Alex and Marty) scrub Aunt Mary's deck.

 Oliver, Allison, Alex, Samantha, Marty and Stig enjoy the 

lakeshore.

 A dog and his boy?? Or is it a boy and his dog??  Marty trying to convince

 Stig that he'd LOVE the lake if he gave it a chance!!  (Stig is just 6 months old.)

There was a bad storm in Lake View last week, so Marty got up on Mary's and

Ann & Don's roofs to see if there was any damage (luckily, there wasn't!).
