My family and I were blessed enough to spend four days at a vacation home on Lake Mattoon in southern Illinois last week.

I took many pictures, but I will share only some of my favorites from our trip.

The private boat dock along the peaceful lake frontage.

Full speed ahead - pulling my nephew @eliwasson on a tube.

Enjoying a cold brewhaha on the open water.

There is a very shallow area with a sand bottom that extends far out into the lake where we stopped to swim.

Some skiing action - (not me).

Noah wouldn't let us tow him behind the boat, but he didn't mind floating around in the tube.

Music, brewhaha, and an evening looking over the lake. God bless America!
