Lake day

So we have had some pretty crummy weather here the last week. It went from rainy and very humid to rainy, windy, and cold.  The weather was supposed to be nice this weekend so we planned on getting out on the boat.  When we got up Saturday morning it was still very overcast and cold but we were determined to make it out. We waited until after the kids got up from afternoon naps and luckily by then the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds.  We decided to check out a different lake this go around, Cass Lake. 

 

It was as beautiful as the last lake we ventured to but was much bigger. It was still slightly overcast and was a bit breezy so the water was a little choppy.  

The kids didn't seem to mind they were ready to go.  After a quick lap around the lake Chase was eagerly ready to "go swimming".  We found the shallow area of the lake where everyone anchors and swims. We also found the northern version of the "Red neck Yacht club". 

There were several pontoon boats tied together and a few special beverages being consumed. 

 Chase and Leah helped Daddy get the boat anchored so we could get in the water and play for a little while. 

The water really was not as cold as I was expecting, especially since it really wasn't that warm outside.  Chase actually chickened out on us and spent most of the time on the boat.  We had a really good time and have really enjoyed getting the kids out and seeing new things.
