At 9am, I got a random idea to go to the lake today. So, we packed up, stopped at Subway for some sandwiches, and headed out to Lake Lurleen. Our first time there, we were pleasantly surprised! It's closer than we thought, really clean, not crowde, and as the day went on we were treated to some interesting and very "Alabama-ish" people watching to keep me amused. All I could think of was that song that goes "red red red red redneck...chew tobacco chew tobacco chew tobacco spit"
Gage will be exhausted tonight, he did some big kicking all day...
Not sure what he's doing here?!?
When we first got in the water, we swam out to the rope together. But, 3 hours later, they got brave, took off and said they were swimming to the rope by themselves. Savannah made it first, but she got a little scared and headed back in to shallower water.
Gage made it to the rope by himself next, gave me the thumbs up, and was very proud of himself. But, he started swimming back at an angle, got too far away from us, and started calling to his sister to come and hold his hand while he swam in. So, we swam most of the day and kept relatively cool in this 97 degree day.
