Down by the lake

This Sunday I will be heading to the beach with some friends and family to celebrate Memorial Day. In Minnesota, it's the kick off of summer and it's always nice to spend time with the ones closest to me.

The weatherman says its going to be a beautiful day. 84 degrees and lots of sunshine. We usually reserve a spot close to the water where we can set up our umbrellas and lawn chairs. The kids in the family swim in the water and play in the sand. My uncle Leon even brings his metal detector to see if he can find any treasure on the beach.

While the kids are playing, the adults grill plenty of burgers and hotdogs for everyone. Eventually we start a big game of volleyball, bringing out our family's competitive side. It's hysterical watching everyone old and young do their best to win the game.

As the night comes to a close I look back at all the fun we had and can't wait to do it all again next year.
