Lake Tillery

Right after lunch today, daddy took me upstairs for a bath.....usually bath time is at night, so something was up. Turns out, right after bath time, we loaded up the car and drove out to the lake to see Grandma and Papa!

I should've slept most of the way there, but decided not to - much to the chagrin of mommy and daddy. After we got to the cabin, Papa took us out on the boat, well after he got the engine started.

I offered my help as much as I could and since I've not studied engine repair yet, the limits of my help is saying, "uh oh" when the engine wouldn't turn over. But finally it did and we pulled out into the lake and went cruising.

Mommy tells me I've been out there before, but I couldn't remember that. This time was fun with the water spraying on us at times. But the rain came by and before we could get back to land, we got soaked! Mommy bundled me up in coats and towels, but it was still wet.

When we finally got back to the dock, they took me over to see the Hamilton girls - Emery's a month older than me - and we stood around talking with them for a while. They seem like nice folk.

Later, after dinner, we went back and I got to play with the 4 Hamilton sisters a bit. There was a doggie nearby and that was sort of interesting too.

Finally, I wrapped up my long day by fiddling with the knobs on the receiver under Papa's television and suddenly is turned on loud as all get out and scared at least a month off my life!

Thankfully the ride home was uneventful as I slept pretty much the entire way.
