Lake George

During our recent
family vacation,

we took
a break
at the lake

to come
into town
and visit

St. Cloud's
Lake George




with

its

floral

gardens



and
fishing
piers.

That afternoon, the park staff hosted free fishing for kids.



Noah wet
a line,

lost
a few
meal worms
as bait,

but pulled in
nothing -

not even
a sunfish.


Later,
I
walked

the
newly-
laid

brick
path

around
the lake.





And
the
boys

paddled
its
waters.



More than a century ago,

this lake was part of the boys'

Great-great-great Grandpa

John Oscar McConnell's farm before the land became a city park.
