How could one conceive of passing a nicer afternoon? Outdoors on a beautiful Sunday, supine under the sun, or perhaps commandeering a watercraft: boat, canoe, inner tube...there was so much to do! And one didn't have to worry about eating from the grill (endlessly producing hamburgers and hot dogs) and waiting the requisite time to swim, because the water was as calm as a bathtub.

If you weren't there, you unfortunately missed out. Lucky for you, though, we've got photos.
