Up to the Lake (cont.....)

When the temperature reaches into the 80's...90's....or even tops out at 100, Minnesotans "Go to the lake".  This week I'm looking for all old pictures of family in their swimsuits or lounging around during those "hazy, lazy days of summer." 

Pictured is Hazel Brossoit (Grandma B) standing near the green camper we all called home when "up at the lake".  It was an old delivery truck that Grandpa B. renovated by adding a small refrigerator, kitchenette, and sleeping area.  Oh the years spent cooking, eating and playing cards inside.  We could always count on Grandma to have Blond Brownies available for snacking!
