I had the fortune of living on the lake in high school, and as a result I hold lake homes in high esteem. Fortunately my parents have not relocated, which means I get to enjoy the lake whenever I visit them. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting on the dock watching the sun set.
One of the best times of year to go is for the 4th of July. The country club has a huge fireworks show, which you can watch from your boat. It is SO much fun to enjoy fireworks on a boat - no crowds, no trying to keep people from stepping on your blanket, no screaming children, no smokers. B says I have a personal space issue, perhaps he's right. But why pile onto a lawn when you can watch fireworks on your own boat? Or better yet, floating in the water? It's just better, and if you haven't tried it you just wouldn't understand.
Anyway, we head out there in a few days, and we're taking the dogs. Bear LOVES to swim in the lake, but Bella hasn't really gotten the swimming bug. Bella does love to play with my mom's labrador/poodle mix (aptly named Rascal). Rascal has learned to jump off the dock, it's pretty funny.
We get to spend 4 days floating in the water, drinking beer, boating, playing croquet, and stuffing ourselves with hot dogs, hamburgers, deviled eggs, and fabulous southern fried chicken. Don't be jealous!
