Our last day here! We had a great breakfast this morning, monkey bread and cantaloupe. Mmm! Then we changed into our suits, went out to the boat, hooked up the awesome floaty tubey thingy we got, and went tubein'! (there's no 'g.' If you say 'tubeing' you're wrong. I don't care who you are or where you live.) We all took turns on the floaty with Tim at the wheel doing his darndest to shake us off. He got pretty upset when he was unsuccessful. I screamed my poor throat raw! *sniffle sniffle* When everyone had had their fill we went back in the cove by the dock and went swimming. Leigha and Bri are getting really good at jumping off the back deck of the boat! Leigha is doing cannonballs and Bri is......well, actually jumping! She's been too scared before today. We swam for a good long while and then everyone piled onto the boat and we went across the lake to a marina to gas up and get some ice cream. Every marina out here has fish food that you can toss off the side to feed the carp that hang out just waiting for tourist season. They are so cool! They mass on top of each other trying to get the food until they literally come out of the water they're so piled up! The girls loved it! We took a different route back to the cove.
Evening was coming on, the sun was setting. Jason and I sat in the very front with Bri. The temperature was just perfect and the wind from the motion of the boat was so nice. The water was almost glassy! I love it here. It's almost magic...or maybe 'almost' hasn't got a place in this sentance. We had dinner out on the deck just as a full moon rose and reflected across the water, making a white wavy path that seemed to stretch from our side of the lake all the way to the horizon.
