The Prettiest Place

Mike skipping rocks, Henry and the Bear

About a 20-30 (???) minute boat ride from the Grand P's retreat is a place called the Green Monarchs. It's beautiful. A rocky beach with the clearest lake water ever.

The girls and the boy.

It's the perfect spot for skipping rocks. We bring the small grill and lunch yummies and spend the day swimming, sunning and eating.

 Stan B spent most of the time nude there.

Henry on the big rock.

The water gets really deep quick so we can pull the boat fairly close to shore and you can snorkel and look at the fishies.

And the boat ride home is notorious for the youngest member of the family to pass out cold.

Here's some vid...you can hear him say, "Mama, swim!" at the end:
