30DPC- Day 5

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory 

Asking me to pick one favorite memory nearly put me in tears... going through all the pictures I own and deciding which one to use was nearly impossible. I chose a picture that was more symbolic than literal, it covers more beloved memories than just one. This photo is of my grandparent's dock on Knife Lake.
Memories of summer trips to their cabin, jumping off the dock, kayaking, and fishing run rampant as I look at this picture. Grandma falling in the lake getting into her kayak, Lars setting up the trampoline to make himself jump higher, sitting and fishing with Grandpa... even the last memory I have of this place shortly after Grandma passed away.
While Papa and Grandpa were going through some of Grandma's stuff I went down to the dock to sit. Usually I wouldn't have done such a thing because the mosquitoes are unbearable, but that day not a single mosquito bothered me. I sat down on the dock until Papa called me back. The water lapping against the shore, birds chirping, mini bears (chipmunks) chattering. It was wonderful to escape to a place I knew my grandmother had loved so dearly.
This photo isn't of my favorite memory, but of my some of my favorite memories.
