while i was away, i had fun!

i didn't take an intentional vacation from my blog, but man was it ever nice! i feel like i have a lot of jobs and deadlines right now, and being able to step away for a little while was really helpful. i feel like i've done so much since we last saw each other, but i'm not really sure where to begin, and truly, it would be really boring for me to list out every single thing i've done lately! i can tell you one thing with absolute certainty though, i've DEFINITELY been enjoying summer! last friday chris and i went to the lake (and when i say lake, i'm not talking a little stagnant body of water, i'm taking about a massive lake that goes in two states and is so big that there is nothing but water for as far as the eye can see) and i took a few pictures before my camera finally died forever...

one thing i really love about this lake is that it isn't crowded. to give you an idea of how uncrowded it is, everyone that goes can have their own beach or even their own island! chris and i stopped at this beach for a while to walk around, take a break, swim, etc., and i told him i was going to look for a group of young boys with a conch (please tell me you've read lord of the flies or i'm going to feel stupid). i didn't find the kids, but i did find two kids toys (and of course i told chris that they got there from shipwreck and they had to eat each other). seriously, what is wrong with me?! i swear i'm the queen of inappropriate. anyway, chris wrote i love you in the sand, and i wrote "we ate the kids for lunch."

so that's some of what i've been doing while i've been away! i hope you've been enjoying summer, assuming you're on this side of the world!

    God, I mother flippin love you! "We ate the kids for lunch" ...the best sand note ever! Lord of the Flies style, indeed! So, did you see any pig heads? Ew...so sick. Haha! I can't even concentrate on how pretty the lake is because of all your LOTF references!

    "We ate the kids for lunch" made me crack up. I wish I had a decent lake around this part of the world and am glad you are enjoying your summer.

    Hey you eat children too? There's this certain look I have every now and then when I'm smiling and it's not pretty. When I see it in photos, I call it my 'look like I eat children face'. Woah anywayyy, it looks like you're enjoying the summer, you! That lake is so pretty and big. These are the kind of day trips Jeff and I like to go on too. Glad you're havin fun and that you got some great projects ahead too!

    You crack me up so much! Your statements sometimes sound like something that would come flying out of my mouth!! You rock so much! I remember referring to a bunch of coworkers (young males that me and my boss were in charge of) as Lord of the Flies! I identify to closely with Piggy...it was a tough book for me...hee hee! Sorry about the camera, but you did take some lovely shots! Heal up from your burn soon! Hearts, Janna Lynn

    I'm so sad for your camera loss. I hope you are able to find a replacement soon. :( Great pics though, looks like fun. I like the difference between what you and your guy wrote in the sand. Made me giggle. ha.

    Looks like you're living it up. I get your Lord of the Flies references. Obviously those kids ate each other. No if ands or buts. ;)

    Danielle, this looks like so much fun! I want to go swimming right now. Summer has finally arrived here. I've been away, too. Home in Calgary and having my stagette in Banff (so much debauchery). Let's catch up! Happy summer!!!

    And, obviously, you're adorable & I love you.

    PS Your goddog was annoying tonight and almost got shipped to you.

    PPS Is it ok for you to be Edie's god mother?

    Those photos are gorgeous, I want to go to your lake! Wow. Makes me miss the one my family goes to every summer, I didn't make it last year. I hope to go in a few weeks and if I do I'll take photos. It's much busier than yours so my photos will pale in comparison. Oh well.

    i love your 'inappropriate' nature miss danielle! haha you're adorable, seriously.

    your summer sounds just as lovely as mine is looking to be. (!!) can't wait for more fun, silly stories of the adventures you'll be having. <3

    sorry about your camera though, that's terrible! hope you get it fixed! (and for a decent amount of money as well. bleh, electronics are a pain in the ass to get fixed, aren't they?)
