Weekend Get Away

We house sat for my parents this weekend. Which meant we got to lay by the pool and feed the dogs. We slept in Saturday morning and didn't even make it down there until 1:30. Kev forgot his swim trunks, so we had to stop by Old Navy and pick up a pair. We thought about trying to get to the lake, but decided not to since my brother had a boat full already.

I spent the afternoon floating on a raft in the pool, while Kev napped inside. We went to an early dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. It was yummy and we got to sit at a table right on the lake. There were lots of ducks and geese wanting food. They had feeding dispensers set up along the rail. There were a couple if babies. They were adorable. 
Sunday, we got up, ate breakfast, and packed the ice chest. It was pretty cloudy but it was nice and cool outside. After the 100 degree temperatures last week clouds and cool air felt wonderful.
We spent the day on Lake Ouachita. My brother went out with us for a couple of hours, then we had the rest of the afternoon to ourselves. I squeezed in a little nap There's nothing like floating on the lake. 
I was nice to get away and enjoy the lake.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Floating the Caddo River

We floated the Caddo River with some friends Saturday. The scenery was beautiful and the water was flowing nicely. It took us a little over four hours and we only flipped the canoe once.  We came to some quick rapids and very low trees. While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
