Annual rite of passage

This is an annual rite of passage at the Draper house, every summer we have to rake the lake in order to be able to swim. We usually do this over memorial day weekend but now that we have a sail boat, the lake has kind of been put on the back burner.
After church and a quick lunch we headed for the lake. This will need to be repeated at least 3 or 4 more times in the next few weeks. You see we live on a man made lake which was a swamp about 12 years ago, so we have to keep up on it.

You can see how big the rakes are that we use to clear out the weeds. they are special rakes made just for lake weeds. the handles are about 10 feet long and the teeth are about 4 or 5 inches long.

Kyla working hard.
