#EndlessSummer Husband and sons swimming in the lake at my brothers cabin in Nova Scotia. Both sons favorite movie is Stand By Me...youngest son got out after messing in the reeds by the shore...only to find a leech on his belly...classic Stand By Me moment. Beautiful place...freshwater lake, perfect for swimming, perfect for relaxing, quite and serene.
