Weekend @ Lake

A couple of weekends ago June 5-7 we decided we would go to Cheney Lake. Some friends of ours were going to take their boat out on Saturday any way so we said we could take our camper out and make a weekend of it! It would be close and this would be the only time to go for awhile before harvest.

We arrived at the lake Friday around 5. We wanted to be there earlier that afternoon but things just didn't work out that way! Our friends were already there and had picked out a camp site so we set up and decided to go take the boat out for a little spin around the lake. It was a little windy so the lake was a little choppy, but it was a nice sunset boat ride. It was DD's first time being on a boat and she seemed to enjoy it, but I think she would have liked it a little more if the wind was not blowing and the water was a little smoother!


After returning from the boat ride we came back and grilled some Teriyaki Chicken and ate supper. DD played around the campsite for a little bit and then I went in and put DD to sleep and then the adults sat outside and chatted on into the night.


The next morning when everyone decided to get up...and believe it or not DD was actually the last one to get up ALL weekend...we ate a late breakfast that consisted of Breakfast Burrito that we made and juice. After breakfast we decided to go for a drive to the south side of the lake to see how the water was on that end. We wanted to see if we would be able to launch the boat on that end and it be smoother. But no such luck, it was windier that day and we just didn't want to take a chance on tearing up the boat and didn't really want to pound ourselves to death just to go out on the boat. We decided to drive around the lake a little further to see if we could find the swimming hole that they usually pull into...to see if we could access it from land. This little drive turned into a hour or so drive clear around the lake...oh well, we didn't have anything better to do. That is one nice thing about camping you just go with the flow and you don't really have a schedule to follow!

After we got back to the campsite we decided to go back to one of the swimming holes that we found and go swim. We swam for about two hours or I should say floated and then came back to the camper and grilled hot dogs and then lounged around, played some football with DD, and watched some movies. Later on we grilled some steaks for supper and enjoyed a relaxing evening.


Then Sunday morning we got up ate breakfast and packed stuff up and headed home...Back to reality!!! It was a great weekend spent with good friends and delicious food!!!

Memorial Weekend and Day 2009

I know I am a little late on posting this, but it has been a little hectic lately just trying to get some things done that have been put off for awhile and DD has been fighting allergies...ugh.

Anyways we had a really good weekend busy but good!!!

We started the weekend off Friday night with a BBQ and ridin 4-wheelers at a friends house. She is actually a friend that we went to high school with and her and her husband just put a house in a couple miles from us and they have a spot on the river to ride!!! After riding we came back to there house and roasted marshmallows and made smores...yum!!! It was a late night but fun!


Saturday we worked on some stuff around the house and then Saturday evening we went into another friend from high school's house where they were having a BBQ also. It was a great time chatting with some old friends and eating some yummy food! Another late night but good times!






Sunday we got up and was going to go to church but realized shortly that the air conditioner was not working right...and of course this weekend had been one of the warmer weekends that we have had. So...after some investigating we realized that the air conditioner had froze up and something about some line going into the air conditioner had something wrong...really didn't care what it was just wanted it fixed and fast!
After getting the air conditioner fixed...thanks babe and J...it was to late to go to church and it was time to go meet my mom, sister, and brother for lunch. It was great and spent the rest of the day relaxing and messing around the house!!!!

On Monday we went to the zoo!!! Our zoo has a new tiger exhibit and we were dying to see it and it was warm but not terrible so we packed up and went for about 3 hours!!! That evening my SIL had invited us down to eat supper with them. They had smoked some meat that afternoon and made some other yummy things to go with it!!! We discussed the family garden that we are doing together and shared several laughs!!! The rest of the evening was spent relaxing from the busy but GREAT weekend!!!



Oh and DH informed me that I wasn't going to know what to do come Tuesday when I actually had to cook again, but I am sitting here now and thinking how could we actually eat after all the eating that we did this weekend...we could definitely skip a few meals...lol, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way!!!

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!!!
