Summer is our shortest season in Minnesota, so you can’t help but embrace it and soak it up for all it’s worth! In addition to embracing summer, we’ve made a conscious effort to embrace our friends that, during the school year, time just doesn’t allow us to see them enough. My friend S invited us to go to a water ski show with her family. S’s arms are like the suns rays that envelope you with warmth, her smile is the essence of daybreak on a dark stormy night, and her calm is only fitting to the deep red and pink hues of color present in a sunset. While our children attend the same school, I’m fortunate to say that this is not where our interest ends.

This was the first water show that we’ve ever attended. It was held at Parkers Lake is right off 94 and County 6 in Plymouth. Parkers Park/Lake has a small beach area, life guard, grassy area with mature trees for shade as well as a park, picnic tables, sand volleyball court and ample parking. Their are various shows and activities held there through the summer. In the winter, you can ice skate there.
