Last Day Antics

Since Saturday was our last full day at the lake and weather was dicey, girls decided clothes might as well get totally wet. Parents encouraged by challenging them to race obstacle courses for best times, always including jumps off the dock. We kept the fire burning to help keep us warm and dry, but finally going indoors worked much better.

Classics on Parade

Saturday morning we were fortunate to be outside when old wooden boats from the classic boat show paraded in front of our beach. Photos are hazy because of the drizzly fog still hanging around the lake.

Saturday Morn Fog

Drizzly fog created another perfect day for school shopping. Girls took advantage of the double stroller, even though their legs didn't fit correctly.

The third photo is not poor photography, oh no, not at all; their eyes actually get that look when we reach their section of the store and they see cute clothes they really like. Girls willingly model favorite tops.

Birthday Cake

Back at the cabin, we continued the birthday celebration with presents and cake. Both girls had shopped carefully and purchased deliberately, and mom was delighted with cards and gifts.

Girls put the finishing touch of candles on the ice cream cake they had made a day earlier. Mom did her part by blowing out all the candles with one breath. Cool treat to end this birthday!

Zorbaz Games

While waiting for our food order to arrive, family played some sand volleyball. They had the cutest official keeping her eyes on the game. Soon the local sprinkler system looked like a good strategy for cooling off.

After dinner our group made a short stop at the arcade downstairs to test the claw machine. Alas, no toys won this time!

Zorbaz

After a sizzling afternoon on the lake with temperature in the 90's, we headed to Zorbaz for dinner on the patio.

And Parents!

And friends!
And parents of friends!

Birthday Boating

Part of the family birthday idea is to spend some of the day on a pontoon boat. After we load up and get past the no wake zone, the tube goes out and the girls get on.
