The Lake

This weekend was so awesome! I got to go to the same lake as before, but this time with student Leadership from church! We got cabins on the other side of the lake, and I thought that the cabins were like hotels! My dad came and brought our boat, so then we had two, because another guy, A Coast Guard, brought his boat too.
On the way to the lake, we saw two wild boars! They were like pink pigs with tusks. There was also some black tarantulas, owls, white mice, and bats. I also got within a yard of the rabbits. They were so cute! But the deer were much cuter, though. One doe came up to me on her own and sniffed and licked my hand! Then someone came out of the cabin and the doe ran a few yards away. I went inside, and then went out the back door, and the deer were up the hill a little ways, watching me. This time the doe brought her two fawns, both were baby bucks. I got chips and started to walk towards them, and the fawns backed away, but the doe stayed. She came closer, and I finally got her near the stairs. Then, I would feed her chips, and while she was chewing, I reached out to pet her. I pet her a few times, and then the two fawns came over, and I got to hand feed only one of them, before they shied away. That was so awesome, being able to enjoy God's creation like that.


We got to go wakebording, and I was the only one who waterskiied. This time, I actually got to stay up on the wakeboard for a few minutes. After taking everyone out on the boat, we had lunch and went tubing and Sea-Dooing. I had so much fun! I'm so glad I got to go.

Oh, that is so cute! You actually got to feed and pet a deer! The fawns sound really cute too. That is so cool! When we were in Oregon we saw deer too who came close to the cabins but I never got to pet one. You got some good pictures.

{since we won our game, we are way ahead of anyone else in our pool, and if we win only one of the next two games, we will stay first no matter what happens in the other game! Too bad you didn't make this game but it sounds like you had a lot of fun!}
