How I Spent My Summer Vacation

An assignment from Grandma
By, Gabe Balzotti

First, we went to Chicago to see Aunt Alyssa and Uncle Sean but we don't have any pictures because Mom didn't charge the batteries in the camera. :(

Then we went to Lake Geneva where the wonderful Akemann family put us up for a whole wonderful week!

On the lake with Dad. More interested in the boat itself than the water.

The beautiful Akemann women, Sarah, Donna and Rachel

Saying goodbye to Lake Geneva with Grandpa...

And saying hello to Port Stanley, Canada!

Grandma is helping me get used to the sand.
Yeah, I think I like this!

At the Pottery with Grandma, Great Grandma Brodie and Dad. 4 generations!

This is the pond at the Pottery where Grandma Debbie was baptized!

With Mom, sitting on a frog.

When we got back from our long trip to Chicago, Lake Geneva and Canada, we went to the ranch with these fun cousins and Jake caught a fish! Don't worry, Gracie and Jake didn't eat it until it was cooked.

That's amazing!

Helping Aunt Krista move with Natty's help.

YaYa holding the keys to the Penske. It's amazing we made it all the way to Berkeley without incident.

And saying good-bye to Aunt Krista. We still miss you Koos!

So overall, it was a great summer. Sorry the report was so late Grandma! Hope you like it!
