Wonderful day

  Gosh, we had such a great day yesterday out on the lake.  We got a late start, but that was on purpose. We were in the car getting the girls buckled into their seats when our friend, Brandon, called.
  He proposed the idea that instead of going out to the lake for a couple hours and heading back, let's make our trip worth it by packing a little extra food and staying till after sunset. We were on board.
  We got to the lake, launched our boat, and headed to our usual spot at about 3 o'clock to wait for the Strongs.  They showed up at 3:40 and proposed another great idea; let's go explore a little bit and find a new spot to swim.
  And, oh, what a great idea that was! The cruise was so beautiful! There's not much to look at in Del Rio but Lake Amistad is beautiful!  

  We found a good spot to throw the anchors and chilled out there till sunset. Everyone had a wonderful time playing in the water, eating good food, and enjoying each others company.

  And Kate has definitely come a long way from last year. She was literally bouncing off of the walls, the boat, the kids, the dogs, ...everything and everyone! She had to be told to settle down at least a hundred times but she, and everyone watching her, had a good time. 

  Waiting for the sun to go down was so peaceful and relaxing and the sunset was beautiful. So worth the wait. After it had set we packed up. We left the boats tied together and cruised back to the dock. The moon was beautiful and it was nice taking a slow ride back. 

  We got back to the dock at 11:15 and rolled into our driveway an hour later. I know, crazy late night, especially for the girls.  They were already asleep, though, so we just transferred them into their respective beds.
  Andrew and I were finally in bed at 1:15.  We won't be doing a late night on the boat very often but we sure had a great time last night.
