Lake Adventures

over the 4th Hubbie and I were invited to go on an overnite boating trip with friends
(thanks friends!)








Hubby on small tube...

our cute little cabin in the woods (below)

hubby helping to 'cast off ' he had lots of practice with that ...hiking a trail that ran along the edge of the lake and an old railroad bedLara and I on the BIG tube (above) and (below) a photo my Hubbie insisted on taking

All in all it was a great time - we even had an adventure that caused us all to have a deeper appreciation and more sympathy for the disiples' attitude durring the storm -

We had a bit of a storm come up on the lake while we were in the boat. There were white caps and wind and sand and lightning! We made our own landing on the beach (not at the boat dock where there was a swarm of people also trying to get off the water) and while the men secured the boat, the ladies and dog took cover in the truck. The men took cover in a culvert to aviod any lighting strikes. It was amazing how fast the storm came in and how fierce the storm was... but on the bright side - it did cool things off for the evening for better sleeping. The next day the sun came out and -yep- you guessed it we were out on the boat again.
