Dear New England Patriots Fans,
While some people spend their summers by the pool or lying on the beaches of the Cape, I have the pleasure of spending my summer on the lake!
Growing up on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire would be difficult to explain in just a few words. From boating, jet-skiing and tubing to scuba diving, wakeboarding, and sand bars, there is never a dull moment. With warm camp fires, S'mores and beaches, it's hard not to enjoy a life cruising on boats or lounging on the dock! Holidays such as celebrating America's birthday become bigger and more extravagant along lakeside homes. Large family cook-out's and get-togethers with good friends are the norm. The lake has a way of bringing people closer together and bringing smiles to everyone's face.
Not only is the water beneficial in the summer, it also provides plenty of winter entertainment when things get cold and the lake freezes over. Growing up on the lake gave me the opportunity to take part in many of these winter activities like snowmobiling and ice fishing. Throughout the winter, large communities develop along the lake in the form of ice houses which begin to resemble small towns. Despite the drastic change in temperature, the smiles and get-together's still exist.
There is so much to do on the lake and each community adds its own individual dynamic. My ideal day on the boat is dinner in Meredith followed by ice cream and shopping in Wolfeboro. The perfect ending is lying in a hammock alongside the water overlooking the mountains and taking in a beautiful sunset. The positive energy and genuine happiness that surrounds the lake will always have a special place close to my heart and many childhood memories!
The Patriots Cheerleaders leave for Jamaica in three weeks for our swimsuit calendar photo shoot so that will be a great kickoff to summer which is right around the corner!
Cheers,
Britni
