Well, another anniversary has come and gone! Thanks everyone for the wishes!
Wednesday morning we finished our breakfast at about 1000. I did the dishes while Ken got the kayaks and stuff ready to take to the beach.
Wow! The water was incredibly clear and even better it was shallow. We paddled out to the buoy area and it was just about 6 feet deep. Looks like it would have been deeper! We spent a couple of hours just enjoying paddling around.
Nearing 1300 we took the kayaks to the beach near our campground area for later use. We walked back up to the trailer where I got our lunch of bologna sandwiches ready. Ken walked down to the beach where we put in and got the truck.
Neither of us were hungry yet, so we took our lunch along for a ride of the area. We headed for the Sinclair station for water, ice and propane. They have an adorable ice cream shop that is open in the summer. The guy inside said in summer there's a line daily from the time they open until 2200 when they close!! Tells me what this area is like in the summer! He did say the ice cream is soooo good!
After that, we ended up at the rest area down the road and about 1400 it was time for our long awaited anniversary lunch! Bologna sandwiches, chips and an adult beverage! Yum! Those sandwiches once a year taste just as good as they did 48 years ago! 💙
After lunch we headed out to take a look at the North end of the lake which takes us into the state of Idaho. My sister Wendy and her husband Shawn, are looking at retiring in Idaho possibly so I did go a little crazy with pictures. I really like this area! We both like the Utah side of the lake better than the Idaho side, but the little towns area cuter in Idaho.
By the time we got back it was 1630 and we decided to put off kayaking until tomorrow. We enjoyed sitting outside watching the world go by. We did decide to stay one more night and head out on Friday morning.
We opened a bottle of champagne that Karen and John gave us before we left. Never had the brand before but it was amazing! Ken is not a champagne drinker, but he liked this one! Thanks guys!
It cooled off enough that we were able to have a real fire and eventually we went inside for dinner. Since the earlier bologna sandwiches were so good, we decided to finish the night off with another! I fried the bologna and made grilled bologna and cheese sandwiches! I haven't been so bad in years hahah. Glad I did it though and only 364 days until another one!!
Ken's sandwiches and my wine..lol.
Thursday morning I didn't wake until 0715! I started the coffee and got the treats out. Finally at 0745 I woke Ken up! He was shocked it was so late. Thought while he's in the shower I'd get a start on this blog. Kayaking are the plans for today once it warms a bit. Only 80 degrees for the afternoon, works for us! It's smoky out there again this morning, but I can see the sun.
We spent the day down at the beach and got hours in kayaking. Have to say we both enjoy it and are really glad we bought them when we did. It was nearing 1730 when we got back to camp. Nice temps during the day and then we were able to have a real fire again outside. Ken barbecued some awesome pork chops and I made some of Karen's yellow squash as a side.
Thanks again everyone for the wishes here, FB, texts and Bryan and Shawn for the phone calls 💗💙. We are blessed!
Set the alarm for 0500 this Friday morning. We are enjoying sleeping in way too much! We're heading out, towards Alpine, right at the border of Idaho and Wyoming. Another route we haven't been before. Not sure what after that. We need to be home by the 26th as Ken has an eye appointment the next week. So we shall see....
Now for the picture overload of Idaho and Utah homes for my sissy! Have a great day!
Have a wonderful day!! 💙💙💙
