Lake Day
Every year we go to the lake and we play on the water. We tube on the lake. We play on the water. We just like to mess around. I just got my boater license and I can now drive the boat by myself. But I am too young to pull a tube behind the boat. I will have to be about 18 before I can. I would like to one day pull one of my family members on a tube.

    Nestled within western Hennepin County and Carver County, Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka holds unique meaning for different people. The retreating Wisconsin Glacier of the last Ice Age that produced melted blocks of ice, gave life and form to this island lake. It was Alexander Ramsey, Minnesota’s territorial governor in 1852, who gave Lake Minnetonka its name.

    Ignorance is the greatest challenge that man has yet to overcome; its ability to spread hatred makes it at fault for many of humanities problems. The only cure for such a wide-spread, and often deadly disease, is knowledge. Knowledge can be spread through many forms, but the most powerful way to spread it is through celebration. Celebrations allows for people to be surrounded by others in a place free from the things that divide us in the outside world. This is why Multicultural events are a very popular form of celebrating diversity, it appears as a party, but is secretly breaking down cultural barriers. This is why Williams Lake needs one; with the negative spotlight that has been shining down on the town, there needs to be a way to remind people that Williams Lake is more than its gang problem.…

Once we got there my whole perspective quickly changed and I found myself forgetting about what I thought I'd be missing back at Cortland and just enjoying the beautiful scenery that was surrounding me.…
