I have always loved this lake in the
winter. Light from the sun sparkles off the snow, and the ice usually gets
pretty thick. I like to use this lake when it is frozen to snowmobile on. It is
very wide open, and has a lot of space to roam on. I also use it to get across
to my grandmother in the winter. It is quicker to go across than around, and
then I can give my grandmother some company in the lonely, cold months.
Today I was heading across the lake on
my snowmobile as usual, when I heard a pop from underneath me. The lake had
started to fracture around me! Luckily I put on the speed and got away, but as
a warning, always be careful, and pay attention to what's going on!

I am very thankful for this lake, and
even more thankful for my mom who supported me through the years.

The ice has just gone out from the
lake. The sun shines its bright light happily after the long winter months. The
lake, free from its icy bonds, reflects the glorious blue color from the sky.
That’s what we observed out on the
lake today when we went fishing for the first time this year. The lake and the
sky seemed so happy and in harmony with each other today. The fish were awake
from the cold season, and we caught many of them. We caught a bass so large, we
are going to bring it to the taxidermist so we can hang it on the wall! We like
this lake very much, and will be fishing in it for the rest of the summer.

Have you ever noticed how the water
makes a rainbow when the sun beams collide with its showery mist? Have you ever
looked at the water's surface and seen how the sunlight shines off it, how
bright it can be?
When we were out in our motorboat
today, we saw these things as we zoomed along the surface of the water,
splashing sheets in a V shape behind us. This lake is very large and open with
beautiful scenery. It is the perfect lake for boating on, and we'll be doing
that again soon!

Today we were at the lake swimming. It
was a cool, refreshing break in the roasting summer day. Today we thought the
disturbances in the water were very cool and interesting; how big or little
they could be. When you waded in, little ripples would float away from you in
close rings. When you jumped off one of the docks into the water, there would
be a large splash, and then the water would flow away from you in bigger, more
separated rings. We love this lake and will continue enjoying it.
