Soggy weekend at the Lake

Memorial Day weekend turned out to be a very cloudy, rainy weekend - something we had hoped would blow over, especially since it was Lexie's first Lake Martin experience. Thank goodness my Dad had installed TVs with cable. Not sure what we would have done for 4 days otherwise. Friday wasn't too bad - meaning it wasn't pouring rain. It was just really windy. Taking Lexie outside, we found out one of her loves. . . . WIND! She absolutely loves it. It's cute how she will close her eyes as if she were letting the wind blow through her hair. The entire weekend when she'd start to get fussy, I'd take her outside and some how the wind would calm her. She also loves the hair dryer!

We had some dear friends (Blake and Nicki) come up on Saturday to join us during the soggy weekend. Since there was nothing to do, we sat on the porch all day and became nosy neighbors. The cabin directly across the slue from us had a boat tied to their dock. It wouldn't be strange except that it was completely upside down and sinking. This isn't a little row boat I'm talking about. This was a nice boat - at least a 25 footer. So from Saturday morning to late Saturday afternoon, we all watched this dock company pull their barge in and try to lift this boat upright with their crane. It was quite the entertainment for that wet day.

The guys that were trying to get the boat out asked if they could use my boat ramp to pull the almost sunken boat out of the water. When they came over, we asked how this happened and they had no clue. Still a mystery!

Here are some pictures from my phone.

See the white part of the boat - that's the bottom of the boat!

They were able to pump out the water and tow it out. Thanks for the entertainment Lake Martin Dock co.!

Here is a picture of sweet pea. . . .

And we got this precious onesie in the mail from one of Dave's college buddies! It's Lexie's first republican attire! Many more to come!!! :-) By the way, it'll be the only elephant that she'll be allowed to sport around! No Bama elephants allowed!!!
