Long weekend at the lake

We went to the lake for the weekend. It was a long weekend as I took the day off Friday so we could go out Thursday night. I love to go to the lake. We had lots of family out there, some friends of mine came out for dinner one night, lots of fishing, swimming and laying around. It was great. The lake water was as warm as a bath which didn't make for real refreshing until you got out. Then it was nice and cool. Nights were nice and cool and made for some very good sleeping weather. We never did put the top tent flap on so each night I went to sleep looking up at the stars. We even got to see some of the meteor showers. We watched the international space station fly over two of our nights out there.
Thursday night fishing was great. We fished until a little after 1 a.m. After that fishing sucked. There was way to much activity on the lake not to mention they let some water out so that messed everything up. We still had a good time though. Our campsite was right by the water which was really nice. Where we usually camp we have to walk a bit but this was like our own private little beach area (there was no sand just rocks). Nightly campfires were nice, card games and just general relaxing and sitting outside.
We got home on Sunday morning, everyone at home was fantastic and Wes and I were exhausted. Its pretty bad when you are more tired from a mini vacation than you were before you left for said vacation. I was asleep by 7:30 p.m. (very unlike me) but it was well worth it. The dogs were super happy to see us home. The horses I don't think even knew we were gone. No one did anything stupid but then I had a good friend come check on and take care of things as well. My guinea keets grew so much in 3 days. They are doing great. Can't wait till they are all grown up. I want more.
Well that's it for now. It was a great weekend.
