Wildlife abounds here

While sitting on the porch this morning we saw a raccoon scurrying down the bank of the lake searching for something to eat. The kids have been putting food out for the many birds that are here and they come right up to the patio to get their breakfast. It is so nice to see all these things around you while sipping your coffee.
Deer are also all over the park. We see many on the way to the swimming beach and Franki said she saw some polka dotted ones the other day.
We spent much of the early morning on the porch watching the sun come up and then I took a spin in the boat. I stayed out for about an hour and then came back into shore for some breakfast. This morning we had some pancakes and bacon.
We were taking the kids swimming today and once we were through with out breakfast we piled in the truck and headed out to the swimming beach.
The beach here is real nice but the sand has tiny gravel in it and it is a little ruff when you get some inside your water shoes.
We set up the chairs and the umbrella and sat back to watch the kids have a good time. It did not take long...me sitting in the sun...to head out into the water with them. It sure felt good to sink below the surface and cool down.
It was not very long after we arrived that some black clouds showed up and we had to leave. The wind picked up and we could hear some thunder in the distance. It was a short dip in the lake and we all had fun...
