Me and my family's lakehouse!

This contributor to the Voices for the Lake exhibit at ECHO responded to the prompt: Think about a healthy lake, how would you describe it?

I ran across the crunchy gravel barefoot. It hurt. But that wasn't what was bothering me. What was bothering me was that I was finally at my favorite place in the very world (so far), a lake house at Lake Champlane. I thought, "oh man. all that driving really pays off. I'm here!" We and my parents had rented a place in Lake Champlane like we always do. We did activities like, crouquet, boating, running around, (appreciated) and the best, swimming! Me and my brother both loved the lake house and it was always appreciated when my parents booked. But today, somthing struck me sad. We couldn't go back again if we had a dog and we were about to get one! When we said "goodbye" to the lakehouse, and it slowly got smaller until it dissapred, I knew I wouldn't forget about it.
