We couldn't have asked for a better day. When we got there, we dealt with a few raindrops just as we were parking the car. They went away and even most of the clouds went away and we spent a lot of time tubing and swimming and tubing some more and swimming some more. And eating. Brynn spent a lot of time eating Cheetos. She also did a bit of sleeping. And a very small amount of swimming. I don't think she liked not being able to see the bottom.
Ethan spent zero time tubing and some time swimming. He loved just riding in the boat and driving the boat and even just pretending to drive the boat.
Blythe was a tubing machine. There were times we thought there was no way she would hang on...surely she was about to fall off...but nope - she stayed on at all times. Guess it's pretty hard to knock a 40 pound kid off of a tube.
We also cruised the lake quite a bit and checked out some of the really awesome docks people had (some with boathouses, bathrooms, slides, diving boards, kitchens, beaches, and seating for at least 20).
When we finally tired of the lake, we started to head back. Along the way we finally were able to see the clouds coming near us. Storm coming! Quick! Darn those no-wake zones that make you go like 4 miles per hour. We knew it was coming, so we started packing up all of our stuff. As soon as we got to the dock, we unloaded quick. Not even 30 seconds after I got the kids off the boat did it start raining. We ran out to the car and managed to get in before the real downpour started. It was dumping and blowing like crazy. I cannot even imagine what it would have been like if we were still on the boat when that happened. But phew! Turned out to be a GREAT day!
