May 31, 2008 A day on the water and doggie's swimming




We got up early this morning and went out to get oil for the boat and pick up some more drinking water. Alex ended up getting a new life jacket while we were out. He wanted the 100.00 wet suit but we talked him into just getting a new life jacket. :o) After we got back to camp we headed out on the boat. The lake water was showing about 73 degrees which is chilly to say the least. As soon as we got out on the lake Alex did a "cannonball" off the boat. He wasn't expecting the water to be so cold. Needless to say he didn't stay in there long. Michael and Alex did some fishing and then we headed off to a no wake zone and I jumped in. After awhile the water didn't feel so bad but I think I was just numb by that point. Ginger and Hank had to try out their new jackets. Michael tossed them overboard and Hank frizzed out. He was petrified which was funny since he loves a bath. Ginger who hates a bath was swimming around like a pro. They were pooped after we got them out of the water and both of them collapsed in the boat for a nap. Alex never would get back in the water but hung off the back of the boat all day splashing and goofing off having a good time.
