Lake Sara

My family and I are not necessarily "sight-seeing vacationers."  We will most likely always choose renting a house on a lake. The past couple vacations we spent on a very private spot in Door County (WI).  This year we decided to switch it up.  We did not travel far, only about 3 hours South to Effingham, IL.  We rented this fantastic house that was the perfect size for our family.  This post is mostly pictures so enjoy! =)

We did not really "do" much.  We slept in, woke up, ate breakfast and lunch.  We spent time on the porch reading and playing games while looking at the lake.  We spent time hanging out in the living room.  We swam A LOT! The lake was very deep!  It started at about 4 feet deep and quickly went to where you can't touch the bottom.  The girls spent most of their time floating in tubes whole the boys jumped, swam, and flipped us off of our tubes.

I loved this week together.  Sadly, we were missing my brother-in-law, but it was great to spend time with those who were able to be there!  I love my family and the time I get to spend with them.
