Are you thinking about retiring? Do you like to entertain? Do you want your grandchildren to visit? Do you like to have fun?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, Lake Norman is the place where you should live.
We just finished three weeks of fun with six Grandchildren (ages 4-16, two families) at Camp Ziegler on Lake Norman. Days began with breakfast of pankcakes, eggs, fruit and bacon. Then it was out to the lake for jet skiing, tubing or just playing in the water. Lunch time came way too quickly. Everyone needed a little rest and then back to more fun on the water or some days there was a afternoon trip to the Peninsula Club pool to make use of the "cool" slide. Back home there might be time for one more round of tubing before dinner. Dinner comprises of the kid's favorite foods ranging from burgers and cheesy potatoes to the more sophisticated (and expensive) steak and shrimp. One evening we had a hot dog roast on the beach. Everyone loves those smores. To vary the activities a bit, we went to Lowe's Motor Speedway to watch the young kids race and, of course, there was always time for tennis and golf. Many of evenings were filled with cards, dice games and hot tubbing.
We are already taking reservations for the 2009 Camp Ziegler season. We are hoping to have some additional campers next year.
We are the luckiest grandparents ever and you can be too!
First time down the big slide .... solo! Good for Matt.
Father and daughter enjoying themselves at the pool ....
How proud to play with Alex ... he is quite good and you should see him play hockey!
What fun we all had at the Tea House in Cornelius. Every grandmother should be so lucky!
