At the lake, we love to spend time on the water--swimming, boating, water skiing and tubing. As kids, we enjoyed many days of fishing with Dad/Grandpa. Those who enjoy golfing frequent The Golf Courses at Lawsonia, Mascoutin Golf Club and Tuscumbia Golf Course. (Tuscumbia was actually designed by our relative Tom Bendelow, who designed over 600 golf courses in North America, including one at Medinah Country Club in suburban Chicago.)
In the warmer months, we enjoy reading on the porch--listening to the sounds of the lake and the singing of the birds--and evening bonfires in the fire pit down by the water.
In the cooler months, we enjoy evenings by the gas fireplace in the living room--playing cards, board games or charades, or watching movies.
