That summer was one of the best ones I ever had. I spent a majority of the time at my grandparents place on Lake Michigan. I woke around 5AM. My grandfather was already up preparing for our fishing trip. We did this most mornings. I would always pack some food and he would pack the gear. We were out in the boat before sunrise. It was the perfect time to go fishing. Watching the sunrise over the lake was also a beautiful sight to see every morning. It was times like these I’ll remember the rest of my life. We’d return to the cottage around nine and grandma would have pancakes ready. After that I’d take a little nap. When I woke up grandma was already working on lunch and most days grandpa was outside. He was always working. He was either mowing the lawn, gardening, or working on the boat. I went outside and helped him for a bit and then played some catch. We’d play all the way up until grandma rang the bell for lunch. After, I’d help grandma clean the kitchen. I swam in the lake and took the boat out a little by myself. Grandpa would never let me get out of sight. I suppose it was a good idea because the lake is so huge I’d be in real trouble if I got lost or if the boat broke down. Sometimes Grandpa would take me water skiing. This was one of my favorite things to do. Most nights we had dinner, others we made a fire in the evening and cooked some food over that. I liked when we had fires. Sitting and listening to Grandpa’s stories from when he was in the war really inspired me. I normally fell asleep on the couch in their cottage after watching some television. The next morning I woke around five and started the process over. It never became boring.
