Some Lake Fun

Saturday, August 1st, was a typical hot and humid summer day. We heard the lake water was pleasant. We put some brats and cold drinks in the cooler and headed for Norris Lake to spend the day. And if you know us, we packed a lot of other stuff, including lots of snacks. We had enough provisions for the week, just in case. Like, in case our battery quit working or I decided to retire and join my dad in retirement. Just waiting on my co-worker to tell me our lotto numbers came in.

The brats were tasty, the water was warm and the cold drinks were, well, cold. Also, the weather cooperated and the heavy clouds did not roll in until later afternoon.

Sarah and her cousin, Allison, had a good time speeding around the lake on the jet ski. I parked in a cove and took some pix of them cruising around. After being goods sports for a bit and letting me get a "few" images, they took off. They came back a while later with big smiles on their faces. I have no idea of what they were up to, but it looks like they had lots of fun.

We also got a bit of tubing in. I towed the kids behind the pontoon boat, so it was a pretty lame trip for them. Nick did find a few ways to aggravage Sarah though. Below is the classic hand-drag technique to spray your partner with water. Nick used it with much success. Sarah took it all in with a smile. Well, mostly. And then she pushed Nick off the tube.
