Here we are just off the boat ramp in a quiet little channel.
Here is my 15 year old getting ready to enjoy the warmth and sun...still clothed. My older son decided to stay home and sleep in. I think he should have joined us.
I'm ready for the sun though! Lots of sun block and my hair isn't messed up yet.
This is my best friend Monica. She and her husband are the ones who invited us. The boat belongs to her father-in-law.
Her hubby Jon didn't want his picture taken. So I complied...sort of.
Our first view of Otter Lake...
And we're off!
We saw lots of nature along the way!
We also saw some fantastic houses on the lakes. I can't imagine how rich you have to be to afford them.
This house below was on a little island! I thought that was so cute. But I also wondered, do they have plumbing? Hot showers? Flush toilets?
The landscaping on the house below was just awesome!
This castle house was so cool!
My sons thought I posted some embarrassing pictures of them. So I am going to assauge them by posting a horrid pic of my hair blowing in the wind as the boat was going top speed.
I look like I'm having fun though! My son was cool and collected.
We went to a place on Lake James called the sandbar. This is a part of the lake on a sandbar that is only about 3 feet deep. Boats gather and anchor and people swim or spend the day. There is even a grill place there in the water where people can buy food! How cool is that!
Below is my dream boat!
It was so much fun boating and swimming! But like all good things, it must come to an end.
We packed up and headed on home. Hope you enjoyed our adventure!

Kady, that looked like a ball! I grew up on a lake in Michigan and I really miss living on the water. I do love my view of my mountains, but I would love a lake view too....
Those homes are amazing!

Just stopping by your site and thought I'd leave a comment...
Wow, it looks like you had a fun-filled day on the lake. I've never been to Ohio but now I'd like to visit! The homes were just gorgeous!
Your son is adorable...I've got a 19 year old daughter that just finished her freshman year at Arizona State (we live in CA) and a 22 year old son...so we've got children around the same age.
Congratulations on moving into your dream home last year...I wish you many years of happiness there!
Take care and hope to talk to you soon.
Lovely picture's! For me who lives in the north of Sweden, it looks like Discovery Channel! Amazing!//Linda
I often have "boat hair" my hubby got a boat last year.
You look like you had a great time...and that tour of the wonderful homes! ....oh I wish I had the cash for some like that!
Kady..sounds like you had a great time. I miss living in an area where I could do that. I grew up around water and when I was younger was always in the water!
Loved the wild life and homes around the water...and the sun too!
Blessings...Lorena
kady, what a glorious day!
Looks like fun!

I did enjoy this trip!, Kady you have such fun. I remember a trip that you took a while back that was fun too. I've got to do something to get out the rut I'm in. I will start today planning an outing with my family. Thanks for the inspiration. Deb
Oh my gosh - that looks so refreshing!! I'll bet 'older son' will wish he came once he sees these photos! Love all the wildlife you saw - and what dreamy homes! It looks like all of you had such a great day!...Donna
Hi there!
So good to hear from you today, I meant to only be on till 9 am and now it is almost noon...that is why I had to back off from blogging for a bit while I got re-settled into my life again! Blogging can become a life eater!!!!
Love the boat pictures, we have a beautiful 21 foot Searay and we love going out in the ocean, seeing the sealions and the beautiful houses, like the ones on the lake you saw! What fun you had, and wonderful memories to keep in your heart come winter!
Bless you today, I will be back to visit you again soon!
XO,
DL
Hi Kady.... it looks that you had a wonderful day just by looking at that happy picture of your...! So fun...and what a beautiful place to be.... cute son too!
pd: The house in the roses is hosting a "Garden Party"... I know lots of bloggers are doing the same, but if you would like to participate, come and see; would love to have you there....

Hi Kady,
I'm not a big lover of the ocean, since I can't swim. So I think I'll have to stay in my Pink Fairy cottage and read.
It looks like you had a blast though!
xo
Cath
How fun!! I can't even remember the last time I went to the lake! You just inspired me to plan the next lake trip! Looks like you guys had a blast!
Kady! OMG, I almost wet myself when I read the comment you left on my blog about you taking off your bra. OMG! heeheeheeeeeeeeeeeee
Justine :o )
Looks like it was a perfect day out on the lake! You go out on the lake here in FL and you risk your life if you just dip your toe in the water. Snapping turtles, poisonous snakes and gators!!!!!!!!! Egads!
Justine :o )
Hi Kady!
Thanks for stopping by! I'm so excited about my mom!
Your sons are so handsome! Looks like you had a ball out on the lake! The photos are too cute, even the one you think is bad. You look like you're having sooo much fun!
Hugs, Sherry
