DeGray Lake, Arkansas – day 1

Right before school started we took one last vacation to DeGray Lake, Arkansas so that Daddy could run in the triathlon there. We made the 4+ hour drive after meet the teacher on Thursday and arrived fairly late. The next morning, we awoke to a beautiful view.

After taking a little hike around the resort (and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes) the kids wanted to swim in the pool.

They were showing off their stroke skills. Carter went the entire length of the pool doing the butterfly.

We ate lunch at DJ’s Drive-in, over in Bismarck. It was a tasty little place that offered a little bit of everything.

After lunch, we rented a boat and headed out on the lake.

Raine and Carter could not get enough of the tube, they stayed on that thing for hours! They went flying off and still got back on.

DJ found a pair of water skis in the boat and gave it a whirl.

I was forced onto the tube at one point, but spent most of the time on the boat! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful lake.
