Happy Grandparents' Day!

In summer, lakes are fun. Lost Lake is one of my favorites, but that's another post. This one is about a lake closer to home: Summerlake.

Last time I wrote about ducks, you may remember, they were a bit underwhelmingly intimidating.

So, I met up with the Ducks at Summerlake Park to get them ready for Nicholls State and the rest of their 2013 season.
