July 4th weekend

Of course we headed out to the cabin for the weekend, but this time we brought the boat to have some fun at my favorite lake Starvation. Taylor brought Zach with him. We got up there Wednesday night and the electricity was off. Luckily few minutes later it came on and we were able to eat dinner. Then that night Steve, Taylor and Zach went for a ride. They saw a fox and put the spotlight on him, but he wouldn't look at them. The boys got up early the next morning to shot some pot-guts, but apparently they are not early risers.

When we got to the lake the battery was dead, so after jumping it we went to Indian bay and let the boys jump cliffs for awhile so we could let the battery charge.

It was cloudy and not really warm, but the water was perfect. We each skiied and there is nothing better then skiing on smooth water. Later both boys wake-boarded. They both caught some air. The top picture is Taylor and the bottom one Zach.
We went and picked up my sister Kellee and her two daughters and headed over to the big sandy beach. Because the lake is so full there wasn't much of a beach, but the boys and Kylie had a good time playing on it.

We waited about ten minutes to long to get off the lake and had to put it on during a rain storm. Even with the weather being a bit colder we still had a great time.


Taylor had to work the next two days so him and Zach headed home and it was just me and Steve. We are adjusting well to almost being empty nesters and the next day we took the boat out with just us two and had a relaxing time. Steve skiied but I just enjoyed being in the sun. The clouds started rolling in around 1:00 so we took off and headed back up to the cabin.

Our old friends who have moved to Las Vegas came up that afternoon and we had a fun time showing them the scenery on four-wheelers. Christy is hooked to her cell phone and we just laughed because she got coverage in the weirdest spots up there. Once she even got it on our porch. I guess I need to bring mine with me when we go for rides.
It was getting dark on the way home and as we rounded a corner all three of us jumped and screamed at a tree stump that looked like a moose. The only wildlife we saw on that trip were deer. Christy was great at seeing them. They stayed for dinner and left around 11:30 that night. The next day we both woke up sick and just layed around the whole day. All in all it was a great weekend.
The boys found this on their drive and it smells just like a mushroom. If anybody knows for sure what it is let us know.
