Today we had a lake day! Everybody geared up in life jackets, we brought out the boxed “Scooby Doo snacks” and headed out. Everybody hopped in the van, except Anna, Amanda and I. We rode on bikes for the short distance. When we got there, we ran down the boardwalk to the lake and were met with the beautiful water shining in the warm summer lake. We had a wonderful time swimming, and I learned to paddleboard and canoe! I also got to practice waterskiing, and we all had lots of fun tubing out behind the boat. In fact, in the evening, we decided to go on a final ride. We loaded up the crew, the first shift on the two tubes being the kids under 9, Mom and Granna. They had lots of fun! When it was our turn, we stopped in the water. This sounds ordinary, but this was close to the place where the power plant that made Lake Anna dumped it’s water when it was finished, and it was very warm, nearly to hot tub standards. Our group hopped into the tubes and we took off in the boat, trying to get away from the ominous storm cloud that had crept across the sky. We made it home safely, but it was a wild ride! The raindrops were tiny and fast, and almost hurt. Plus, the waves that seemed tiny before do not seem quite so small when you’re bouncing over them at high speeds. It was like an insane roller coaster, but I do not deny that it was kind of fun! We all made it home, and slept like rocks. I can’t wait for tomorrow!
