9 Feet Down

Last weekend we went to the lake to play on the bottom of the lake and let the dogs swim. They lowered the lake 9 feet this year, which hasn't been done in like 10 years. Any rocky surface is where the lake normally is.

Here you see how far out in the cove we are. This is a long way from the house.

Gracie and Minnie are walking on the "shallow spot" in the cove.

There are lots of rocks on the bottom of the lake (this isn't where you could touch bottom) and Laney found a big rock that she said was heavy. It took her a second to figure out how to hold it.

It also took her picking up and dropping it three times to get it in the lake.



Kevin got stuck trying to walk to the doc. Then I challenged him to walk in the "quick sand" on the bottom of the lake and he made it!

Laney's smile shows everyone how much we LOVE the lake, even in February!
