Our Lake Adventure

This was a weekend full of huge adventure, family, food, music, fireworks, and fun. At some later point I might have some wisdom, (and more pics) to offer to inspire, uplift and amuse, but for now, here are some pictures from our time on Guntersville Lake with the our dear friends the Phillips and the Scotts.


Amanda B. and Amanda P. were perfectly cool aboard the inflated float of wild speedboat fury, but I think our sadistic chauffeur, Brian, took it a little easier on them than on us guys.


Christopher more than held his own on the crazy float while Brian hot dogged that boat like he was at the water version of the Indy 500.

After eating several gallons of lake water, I really had an awesome time.

Lynne said that, among many other things, "her boys" Jacob and Adam, could stand up on the moving float, and that sounded way too much like a challenge for me to pass up.

Somehow we missed getting pictures of everybody, but Jacob's sweet fiance, Mallory, also came along for the adventure. We packed a lake picnic which we all enjoyed while hundreds of tiny bats entertained us as if on cue at sunset at the "Bat Cave." This is a well kept local secret and I think the Scotts and all the lake dwellers around there wouldn't mind keeping it that way. This place is truly breath taking. Surrounded by rolling hills and gracious southern charm, Guntersville Lake is a hidden jewel in the middle of Marshall County, Alabama.
