Walker Family Blog

We had a wonderful week at the cottage on Lake Winnebago. Five generations of Walker’s have now stayed in that cottage. Shaun’s great-grandpa and grandpa built it in the 1940′s. Other than the added plumbing it is still the same. Shaun has a lot of great memories spending summers there. It was fun to share the experience with him.

Over the weekend we had the Walker Family Picnic. It was a hot day, but we had a beautiful breeze off the lake. It was great to see everyone again. Naomi was a such a good girl. That was the first time everyone had seen her.

It was nice to see Tina and Adam while we were there. We met them in town for pizza and then we went to a concert in the park. Afterwards they came back to the cottage and we had a campfire and smore’s. What fun!

We enjoyed a short day (it was really hot) at Lakeside Park. We watched some kids learning to sail, went up in the Lighthouse and then took Naomi on some rides. She really liked the carousel, but I’m not sure what she thought about the train.

Naomi enjoyed being the center of attention. Grams got her some really cool toys. She had her own little lawn chair and a pool to splash in. We discovered that she loves watermelon. When we first put her on the beach she didn’t want anything to do with the sand and wouldn’t leave her towel. Once she got used to it, she was having a blast and even managed to eat some. She looked so cute in her Nemo bathing suite. I couldn’t stop taking pictures.

Sunsets, fishing, campfires, and walks along the beach road – we enjoyed it so much, we didn’t want to leave. The Lord even made it possible for us to stay on day longer. That morning I had been reading in James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. . .” What a wonderful heavenly Father we have.
