July 4th, Glenview and July 5th at the lake house in Michigan

This is about how hot it felt!	This is how hot it actually was (103)	Stayin cool inside ~ Karen and Daryoosh
...and Scarlett	Here's the 4th of July Chef with outside temperature	Kurt and Robin's Lake House in Berrien Springs, Michigan.
This is the view from the Balcony. Lake Chapin is visable in the distance.	Here's the main living area upstairs (with our host, Kurt checing a message)	Ross was working from home when we arrived.
Here's KC checkin out the view.	Ellie was checking out the upstairs balcony here.	Karen and Nadia on the upstairs balcony.
I got a shot of Karen as I was telling her about the huge snake that I saw on the steps a little earlier.	Here are the steps that go down to the ground and where I saw the snake.	This is Kurt and Robin's fire pit. It was too hot to even think about a fire on this trip.
This is the path to the long stairway down to the lake.	As you see, it is a ways down to the lake.	This is Robin's kayak (that I took out for a while) with the gang hangin out on the pier.
Mostly the silhouettes of KC and Kurt at and by the pontoon boat.	Robin, Daryoosh, Dara and Ellie on the bench on the pier.	Out hostess, Robin.
Some lily pads that I thought looked cool.	Casey at the wheel of the pontoon boat. We took a swim from the pontoon boat a little earlier in the day.	This is looking out the back of the pontoon boat.
Here's another view of the stairway from the pier up to the house.	Casey stretchin his legs after some jet ski rides.	Nadia getting ready for another jet ski ride.
Casey crusin on the black menace (OK, I just made that name up).	Some nice action shots of KC jet skiing (400-500 shutter speed for you photogs out there)
	Daryoosh headin out to the open sea!	with Casey on his way too.
Kurt and Ellie back at the pier.	Nadia, lifevest on and ready to hit the waves.
Nadia had a minor engine problem before this trip and had to be pulled back in for an adjustment.
Nadia was pretty far off but my 200mm zoom caught a lot of the action then some cropping in the lab brought here in even closer.
	Nadia drivin up on to the pier.	This is how we park the jet skis
and Casey brings in the Red one for a break.		Double chefs now! and we had a great meal after all of our lake adventures.
