A Day on the Dam

Today was a very relaxing day! We did laundry this morning, had quiet time and just wound down. For lunch, we decided to take a picnic up at Crystal Springs Dam (aka lake). Halfway through the afternoon, Leann and Dion (two teachers from Rivermead) and their kids met up with us to have cake and tea. We were hoping to see zebra by the lake (apparently they meander on down to drink from the lake from time to time), but we didn't see any. There are also some monkeys that live in the trees by the lake, but we didn't see them either. We did see a buck on a yonder hillside, though.

Hanging up our laundry, yet again. Lyla, the dog that resides in that yard, decided to pull a few items off of the line today and chew them to oblivion. This is the same dog that wakes us up at o-dark-thirty (i.e. way too early). I'm practicing patience!!!

This is the biggest lake in the area. Yes, that's all of it. Apparently 3 water skiing boats are allowed out on the water at a time, but I cannot fathom how they would all fit!

The two of us by the water.

All of us girls working really hard ;)

  1. I wonder if Lyla and Melaya are related?! ;)

    Too bad you did not see any wild animals...maybe some other time.

    Love the picture of you three girls "working" hard.

    Love you,
