LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2011

On Friday, I went into CDA to wash the car, pick up groceries at WalMart, get burgers for puppies.

Then tanned at 2pm. Raced home to get everything packed up and sandwiches made.

Hubby came home, then spent one hour at the shop. We drove down to Bayview to pack everything into boat.

We slept on boat at Marina Friday night.

Saturday we awoke early. I went home to feed deer, feed dogs, & get lattes. Hubby stayed on boat.

Took off out of Marina at about 8:30.  Went down to Buttonhook Cove to hang out. Got to know all the "popular kids". Couple guys helped us dock. Quite a little clique.

Kids came in late afternoon. Brought Krispy Kreme donuts & KRN's chicken bbq! Yum. Had it for dinner.

Slept on boat at Buttonhook Cove.

On Sunday morning early, KRN & I went to get lattes, breakfast at Saddle Up Cafe & feed dogs/deer at home. Guys stayed on boat. Matt helped carry stuff down to boat when KRN parked at Buttonhook camping.

We took off after breakfast to go swim. Found a nice anchoring area by a downed tree on east side of Lake. Threw Bud in to swim. Beebo really liked swimming. Little motor boat!

Motored boat slowly back to Buttonhook Cove. Parked on opposite side. Kids left at 3:30. Bugs hatched in the cove. Flying ants. Got all over boats. Greg & I took a nap. Fireboat from Bayview came to spray water.

We stayed overnight at Buttonhook and enjoyed meeting many new people. It was fun. Buddy liked going for walks.

On Monday (Labor Day) we hung around until late afternoon. Took several walks. Then we left as bugs started hatching out again. Motored around the lake. Returned to McDonald's Marina late afternoon. Unpacked all perishables & went home. Unpacked everything & loaded dogs in white truck so that we could walk them down at the park. They were happy to see us again.

Went to bed around 10:30.
