Lake Day

We went to Lake Mead on Saturday, and I was reminded why we don't go very often. I had fun, and I want to go again, but without a boat, it's crowded,and you have to put up with other people. I don't mind putting up with people, but it's nice to have some privacy, someone was smoking (which was weird all by itself), and you have to see people who don't understand that a bikini doesn't automatically make you look good. Also, I got sunburned, as usual, though not too bad, and only on my shoulders. I wore a life preserver a lot of the time, so that I could swim around with Holly and Mia more safely. We decided they both needed life jackets, and they're likely to be more daring swimmers than me if I don't wear one too.

I really enjoy floating along in the water with a life vest on. I've never been a great swimmer, but bobbing along in a big lake is really relaxing. I also enjoyed water skiing the last time we went, which was also the first time I went. If the girls didn't freak out about water so easily, Lake Mead might become a regular destination for us.

So we'll go to the lake again, especially if someone with a boat invites us. (Which might be a hint, but I don't know if anyone with a boat reads this). Unfortunately, I didn't take a camera, so I have no pictures. Consider that a gift though, as you are spared my blinding whiteness.

Hey guess what? My brother is a snot. :-)
I miss the pictures... I have a hard time staying focused enough to read without the pictures. J/K. I do not know that I ever went out to Lake Mead while I lived there... maybe I did and just did not know it. Anywho, it sounds like fun and maybe you can find someone with a boat to take us all if I ever make it out again.
