Summer vacation was at Lake Guntersville, AL this year. We missed the beach at Dauphin Island, AL but maybe next year there will be no oil spill. The lake was still fun, and Ellery did a little paddling in the boat and floating in the water. We went to Cathedral Caverns to view a cave with four world records. The following pics have captions...
