Sunday Excitement - Trip to Wal-Mart

Sunday morning drive to Wal-Mart to get provisions.  It's a family outing!  We are remembering all the things we forgot to pack and it's also hard to feed 4 people out of our tiny fridge. Thank goodness Jeff bought the extra freezer that's in one of the bins.When we drove to Berryville  it was lunch time and we were hungry. We had the choice of Pizza Hut, McDonalds, or KFC so Jeff chose Pizza Hut. On Sunday, it's $6.50 per person for the buffet which has different kinds of pizza, breaksticks and salad.  The place fills up with all the people from the area churches. Jeff said we should make that our Sunday routine!

the lower right-hand corner
"T-Rex" wakeboarding.  Mya named her that because
she won't straighten out her arms.  
Spent some time on the lake Saturday.  So peaceful compared to Lake LBJ or even Canyon Lake. Cricket Marina is right around the corner so we can fill up easily - and the girls can fill up on ice cream! That's always the first question when we get to a new marina.
 Mya was right when she said we spend all our money on gas and ice cream.  Maybe instead of keeping track of RV fuel and mileage, I should keep track of boat fuel and ice cream expenses.  The way the girls eat ice cream, the RV fuel may be cheaper.  They both are figuring out the wake boarding thing.  It's pretty strenuous and crashing into the water either gives you a wedgie or fills your sinuses with lake water.  Sounds like fun, huh?!  There are a lot of fish in this lake including Gar which we've seen a lot of.  Now I'm kind of freaked out about being immersed in the water.  Do those things bite people?  Maybe it's better not knowing. 
Mya hanging on for dear life.  No one wants to crash!

We've got a pretty good routine going.  Jeff gets up around 6 and goes fishing.  I get up around 8 - 8:30 and can gokayaking, blog, whatever.  The girls sleep until around 10 or 11.  So we get the mornings to ourselves and then we have family time in the afternoon. I went kayaking yesterday morning and saw a "bambie" eating it's breakfast in the underbrush, two squirrels playing chase, a great blue heron getting it's breakfast, and a big dead catfish floating in the middle of the lake.  There are so many different birds and other animals here.  There seems to be a number of woodchuck families that live in the rock cliffs.  We have a chipmunk that comes to visit (we got him food at Wal-Mart too!) and we bought a hummingbird feeder that has already had visitors.  Don't know what we'll do today.  I think we may take on a game of Pickle Ball.  Mya has been at me to go play but I did something to my foot (probably from my toes gripping the brake pedal through Dallas!) so I'm not walking too well at the moment.  Oh well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  She won't be up for a few more hours anyway!
This is NOT fun!


The Vampire at the pool - guess which
one this is?!
Found these in the debris piles of logs
down by the lake.  They look like
dinosaur eggs.  I think they are some
kind of seed pod.  We haven't been
brave enough to crack them open!
The one who likes having her pic taken.
