Arriving at our beautiful vacation home in Pinckney, Michigan...	The lakeside view of the home with the deck and hot tub.
Our private boat dock and backyard, including a pit for bonfires.	A view of Baseline Lake from the 2nd floor of the home. Our lake is one of seven lakes comprising the Chain of Lakes that are all connected through narrow channels.
The owner of the home is quite the gardener!	The breakfast nook overlooking the lake.
The living room and fireplace where many hours went spent enjoying nature (i.e. watching TV and DVD's).	Shefali has this weird obsession with ducks, both real and stuffed.
Stained glass decoration of a sailboat.	Boats (including us and our pontoon) gather on neighboring Portage Lake for Fourth of July fireworks.
Shefali peers at the coastline through the binoculars.	Looks like folks are grilling and gathering for the fireworks too!
Sherlock and Shefali are eagerly awaiting the fireworks.	Dan and Sherlock relax on the pontoon.
Sherlock doesn't look like he is going to stay up. Amazingly, he slept through the entire ruckus.	Let the fireworks begin!
Later in the week, we attempt to navigate the Chain of Lakes to go exploring ...with Dan at the helm!	An interesting bird is spotted - an egret, maybe?
Ducklings play by the shore.	Sherlock is nature-watching too!
A quick glance at the photographer before returning to intent observation of the water...	Dan continues to do an excellent job navigating the pontoon.
Oops - exhaustion has overcome Sherlock who is napping away.	Shefali takes over the driver's seat....
....so Dan can go swimming!	Turns out Sherlock knows how to swim too!
He appears calm while floating on the lake with Dan. However, it turns out Sherlock doesn't really like water much at all.	Posing on our last day before leaving for home (albeit very sadly and reluctantly).
