The lake is wonderful and we do enjoy sitting on the dock...and yes, I confess...I do sometimes just sit in the boat while it's tied up!
We've had several family get togethers since we moved here. Our kids and grandkids enjoy fishing, swimming, tubing and cruising in the boat...we cook out, walk down the street to the park to feed the ducks and catch fireflies after dark. Yes, we have all the 'technilogical toys' in the house that they could be playing with but when they come here they don't want to watch t.v. or play on the computer...they actually slow down, relax and just enjoy the lake and each others company. Most kids don't get that opportunity and it is sad...there's something to be said for feeling a fish nibble at your toes or to take a nap in the hammock with a gentle breeze rocking you to sleep and to be able to sit outside after dark and listen to nature.
