Water levels

Our water levels here on the lake are so high!! I'm so glad I'm on a hill and we don't have to worry about our house here. I have been taking pictures of our lake since Tuesday. I'm betting it's about 2 to 3 feet higher!

SonShine Choir

Jake had his last SonShine Choir performance in church. I am sad, he doesn't want to be in it next year, maybe he will change his mind and be in it in the fall. They all did a great job!
