Our Lake Adventure

Going to the lake with my hubby and friends makes my soul happy.  Literally, I think I could spend days on end in a boat riding around the lake soaking up the sun (minus the sunburn that always comes with too much sun)!!  LAKE LBJ was a blast for the weekend.  What could be better than riding around on the lake with people you love, blaring good music and having the time of your life?!  Ab.so.lu.te.ly NOTHING! We are so grateful for sweet friends who invited us to their family lake house just to hang out and relax.  This weekend we did a lot of... laughing, telling funny stories, taking lots of pictures (Karlie our sweet friend and amazing photographer was always behind the camera), soaking up a lot of sun (I managed to not get sunburned but Reagan did... not sure how that happened!), and making lots of sweet memories.  Probably the best part of the weekend was being surrounded by great friends... time spent with people you love is priceless!

The best part of the weekend:

On Saturday, there were a couple extra people that came to the lake (unexpected so to speak)... so we were over our limit for how many people could ride safely in the boat.  Well good thing the King and Hassoldt families have so many cool lake toys.  Since there were extra people, that meant we needed to blow up the huge blue float.  People kept taking turns laying on the float and getting some sun while other people rode on the boat and tubed or wakeboarded.  Well the last people to be on the float would be me, Karlie, and Uncle Kim.  We were contently floating out on the water until we realized we hadn't seen the boat come by for quite some time.  As the sun began to go down, we began to get worried.  It had been almost 4 hours sine we had last seen our family/friends or the boat.  So, as the last boat was headed in from where we were floating, we decided we better ask if we could use their phone and call someone.  Come to find out... we had been floating for so long because the boat ran out of gas and then it would not start up again after they re-filled the tank! It made for a funny story by the end of the night but it was kinda weird to be stranded out on the big blue float with no phones, no food, no shoes or clothes and only a couple of waters.  As Karlie would say, "we were doing it survivor style!" (even though we were just a couple feet from the shore). haha. love that sweet girl! :)

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Off to Bible study the Farish's go!

Me and my sweet hubs out on the lake enjoying the sun and riding on the boat.  No better way to spend a Sunday morning than surrounded by the beauty of nature that God created!!
