A Day on the Lake

 

We were gifted the opportunity to spend a day on a pontoon boat. How exciting! Lunch was packed along with fishing poles, and other day-on-a-boat necessities; and we jump in the truck and headed East. Our destination: Piedmont Lake. However, once we arrived, we discovered all the pontoon boats had been rented. There are several lakes in the area, so we decided to give another a try. Clendening Lake is pretty; and, they had plenty of pontoons to choose from. We had never visited this lake before, so it was fun driving around exploring a new place.

 

We didn't catch any keepers, but were able to pull several small fish in. Most of the time, we played with fishing lures, experimenting to see which ones we liked the best, floated around the lake, and let the kids jump in the water.

Although, the day was absolutely beautiful. It was a bit windy and chilly. The water temperature was warm enough though, that the boys didn't mind jumping in and getting wet.

 Hannah and I spent a lot of time keeping warm under a blanket (or beach towel).

We had a wonderful day on the lake. By the time we headed to the truck, it was near dark and everyone was hungry and tired. Arriving home a couple hours later, we gave the animals care and attention and promptly went to bed. It was a day full of adventure and love. I'm so glad I decided to go instead of staying home to play "catch up".
