We did some cruising around the lake in Dad's new Polaris (until Sam and I were driving around and we got a warning that we were out of gas... bummer!). We mainly used it to make trips up to the marina when we needed more worms or catfish bait!
Chacey got to do plenty of swimming in her turtle pool/sandbox on the deck. I couldn't believe how nice and enjoyable the weather was, since we had just been enduring a week of 100+ degrees in Kansas City!
Chacey loved the nice, slow boat rides that we went on (we had to go slow so that we didn't make a wake). The radio in the boat kept her entertained; we just cruised around the lake while she danced and danced!
On Sunday afternoon, right before we were getting ready to leave, they lifted the no-wake and we were able to do some tubing. The picture below is of Katie and Rebecca tubing. I didn't realize how difficult it was to do it with two people! Trying to hang on sideways made my neck and shoulders sore for a week!
Finally, just a sample of Iowa's floods...
If you look at the picture below, you can see the top of a big passenger van. This was on Sunday afternoon. When we went through on Friday, all you could see was the roof panel, so the water had actually gone down quite a bit by this point!
