Miss Lake Brownwood

Ava experienced Lake Brownwood for the first time this past Memorial weekend. She was a little weary at first since she was forced to wear the most uncomfortable life jacket in the world! But once she heard the roar of the boat engine and saw the water splashing in the back she was amused and gave in to her big blue floaty. After about 10 minutes out on the water it was time for a break so the group decided to pull into a sandy beach area and enjoy some waves. Sprout was not very happy with the cold lake water on her bum but thought it was ok if her feet were in it. She enjoyed splashing and yelling at the other kids around her. On our way back to dock the hum of the engine soothed her right to sleep and she got to enjoy a nice nap in the shade.


After the lake adventure the family was off to Mimi's for a home cooked meal. She slaved over a hot smoker all afternoon cooking a delicious brisket! Chris and Becky scarfed down brisket sandwiches while Sprout had a couple beans and kept the dogs in line. After filling their bellies to the brim it was time for baths and bed. Ava was in bed before the sun went down and Mekah was snoring before her head hit the pillow. It was a long day for the Hathcocks, but it was only the 1st of many trips to the lake! Never fear there is always more to come.
