The Adventure of a Lakehouse :)

Hey guys!
So as promised, here are some stories from my time at the lake house I went to :)
____________________________________

So the Sunday I got back from Krakow I ended up meeting a new family, the family I was going to be staying with for a week while we went up to there lake house which was in a little town 20 km outside of Poznan. I was a little nervous because I was super tired from my trip and I didn't know who I was staying with, but I had nothing to worry about :) The family I stayed with was awesome :D They were so nice, and I loved hanging out with them. The house we went to was beautiful and it was so peaceful in the area that it was a pleasure just to sit and look around. We didn't end up leaving for the lake house until Monday afternoon, so before we left I went with my host-sister to go to Stary Broward (I don't know if I spelled that right). Its a big shopping center, I've never seen so many stores in one place! I ended up buying the first Harry Potter Book in Polish on a whim, almost like a promise to myself that I would be able to read it by the time I leave.
The days at the lakehouse were relaxing and wonderful; we didn't have a schedule so I woke up when I wanted to and went to bed when I was tired. It was amazing. The lake was a short bike ride away, and it was amazing. I'll put a picture in so that you can see :) My little host-brother joined us on Tuesday and he was really awesome, but hanging out with him made me miss my little brother! My host-sister had a friend stay for a few nights too and we all hung out a bunch. We taught each other card games (I now know how to say all the Polish card names) and generally just had fun :) For a few of the days my host mother and I sat at the kitchen table and she was nice enough to let me read Harry Potter to her outloud so that I could work on my pronounciation :D (I wasn't very good at it...the first day we spent probably close to an hour or an hour and a half on it...I read a grand total of 3.5 pages....). I also went on a lot of walks because they had a dog (His name was Freddy, he was adorable:) ) It was a wonderful way to spend my last few days before school started and I am so glad that they let me go with them! I really, really like them and I hope we get to hang out again this year :D
