Summer Lake Fun with Family at Pretty Lake

My mom had two weeks off each year when we were kids. (my older brothers and me) She would rent a large lake cottage on "Pretty Lake," and what a blast!

My brothers knew how to swim, but my mom didn't know how and I had no swimming father to teach me. (Why didn't he teach Mom? Hmmm) I stayed mostly on a rock near the front and occasionally got an inner tube with Mom to go out a bit further.

Beach Boy's music was blasted over the lake. Cold chocolate cola (never saw it anywhere else, more like milk than soda...), plenty of sand, teens splashing around---fun.

There was a long toboggan that the teens rode down. Whenever I hear The Beach Boys I think of Pretty Lake and the rare two weeks I saw my mother so carefree.
