Dickerson Lake

We just got back from a relaxing week at Dickerson Lake. We had such a wonderful time at the cottage. The weather was great and the water was very warm. We had some friends join us for a couple nights which made it even more fun. Here is what we did all week.

Splashed around in the water looking for minnows, turtles, and frogs.



Kristen and Naveen and their 2 adorable boys Kiran and Rowan came to hang out. We determined Kiran loved the boat, the faster the better, and Rowan loved relaxing on the beach.

We got dressed up one night to go to the Clifford Lake Inn for dinner. This little Inn is right on the water so you can eat dinner and watch the boaters and skiiers go by.

Campbell tried really hard to catch frogs and minnows. Thank God they all got away so we didn't have any new friends to bring home. If you look close you can see the frog jumping away right between her hands.

We did lots of floating and relaxing in the water. The lake is really deep and really warm so it made for great swimming.

Campbell found her fish fins at the cottage and decided she was going to jump off the boat and swim on her own. She was so proud of herself and so were Steve and I.

Here she is kicking and scooping, she did this everyday.

The day that it was overcast we went to a petting farm near by. We have not been there in 2 years and in that time they have added a number of new exciting animals.

Campbell got up the nerve the second time we went to the zoo to go into the pig pen and get a closer look.

Here is Campbell jumping on top of me as the Camel came up to give us a smooch.

There was a bird house you could walk through. Campbell is standing like a tree in hopes one will want to land on her. I was hoping we wouldn't get pooped on.

The lemurs were one of my favorites.

Where else can you pet a kangaroo?

We also found where Santa keeps his reindeer part of the year, this baby one was happy to come over for a pet.

This week was one of firsts when it came to water sports. As I mentioned Campbell decided swimming on her own was great. She also decided tubing was a blast and wanted to do it again and again and again.

I had a first on the water also, I tried wake boarding. It was lots of fun and I can't wait to try it again.
Campbell found a new friend who we really enjoyed hanging out with. As you can see we didn't do anything but play and relax.
