Here’s Virginia and Kelly at the dock on Elk Lake, in Wayne County, Pa., where we spent 4 relaxing days. Pete brought his friend Justin, and the three boys spent a lot of time fishing, playing Monopoly and volleyball on the lake. Virginia and I got in some time on bikes and hiking. All in all, we had a very good time. Only hang-up was the weather. Had two huge late-afternoon thunderstorms, one of which knocked out our power for 18 hours. We persevered – thankfully, Virginia had just showered and dried her hair. Hot water was an issue the rest of the week. But it’s August – who needs hot water?!? Photos here:
