Magic Pines

Life at our cabin on Cannon Lake—dubbed Magic Pines—is chronicled here. Updates include pool maintenance woes and septic replacements, big‑green‑egg BBQs, sailing snapshots and summer fireworks over the lake.

    The final thing we needed to do for our pool project was replace the septic system at our cabin. I think it’s good that I wasn’t there when they did it and cut through gas and water lines, irrigation lines, and even low voltage lines. I just checked in at times on the NestCams. Hard to dig a giant hole out and put a big thing in it without disturbing a bunch of stuff.

    Sailboat on Cannon Lake. Not a typical sight.

    Great conclusion to today on Cannon Lake.

    S’mores Selfie. 🔥🍫

    Gorgeous night on lake with foreboding clouds.

    Gorgeous morning boat ride with the kids. Lake is super calm.

    Big Green Egg. Beer. Lake. This works.

    We put a new dock in at the cabin. Love it.
