The Lake Tail
Once upon a time, before there were Gronckles, there were cousins who spent their summer vacations together on a lake in Connecticut. Bottom row left is Mima, age 7. Second row right is her cousin Janey, age 11? (c. 1957, Andover Lake, Connecticut - there us some discussion amongst the cousins about the year. Haircuts tell all.)
Fast forward to August, 2014. On this trip, The Gronckle was the baggage car/chuck wagon/support vehicle. We had plush accommodations in a house on Carney Lake on the Kitsap Peninsula. The Gronk came along for back-up sleeping accommodations (not needed this time..) but made herself indispensible providing extra pans, salt, olive oil, balloons, and other essentials.
Drake taught himself to kayak. Gracie got her very own dragon (pink, of course!)
And, we got the first annual photo of the cousins on the steps
That’s Janey's grandson, Mason on the bottom step; next to cousin Gracie; Ewan on the third step, and Drake and Mima at the top (youngest to oldest, of course, it's tradition!)
We shall return!
