Pam, Will and I spent a great three days with Joe and Shirley Bator on Bull Shoals Lake, where Pam’s family has been vacationing for decades and where I’d spent a lot of years joining them. We had a great time catching up and relaxing with Joe and Shirley, who have a gift for making us feel just as comfortable as possible. Will spent some time in the lake, and mostly enjoyed it, despite getting overheated on Saturday. He did very well on the seven-hour drive to-and-from, and we got to spend a few hours with Clan Adomite/Lenny on Monday on the way home.
While down at the lake, Pam and I engaged in some waterskiing - or at least Pam did! - and tubing, and now I’m so sore that I still can’t really use my left arm. I think Joe may have injured me. :-)
Will 0.11 (yes, he’s eleven months old now, which seems impossible) experienced lots of new things, but particularly enjoyed napping on the pontoon boat, and eating oreos.
I’ve also uploaded a bunch of pictures, some from as far back as July, into the following albums:
- Bull Shoals Lake - August 2008
- Willpower
- July 2008 - just a few new pictures of him feeding himself near the top
- August 2008 - Will playing with his new sandbox
- Home Improvement
- Sprinkler System - photographs of the piping as laid
- Sod - laying sod throughout the back and side yards
Enjoy!
Pam and I are getting busy planning Will’s first birthday party, so stay tuned for more updates!
One Response to “A Visit to the Lake (and New Pictures!)”
Per joe, you should “know your driver” and pay him a little higher rate! we had a great time with Will, oh and you guys too, just kidding on the “you” part! (eat your heart out gram and gramps). It was fun watching his cookie monster routine and he was great in the water. This could be a yearly event. Pam congrats on the award, you deserve it.
