Web readers: introducing my boyfriend Mike! (full names withheld to protect the innocent). So, we went to my friend Eric and Delanie's lake for the weekend. We drove out Saturday morning. For many of you, this will come as a shock, but I'm not a real nature girl. I considered packing pop tarts to 'toast' on the fire. Delanie actually drove my car down the drive to the lake and this is what it looked like:
This was 'home sweet home' for two days. Delanie and Madeline are in front of the camper:
And not even the littlest ones got out of helping out around camp. Here Lilly pumps water to help prepare dinner:
So on Saturday, we hung out and braved the wind. It was 30-40mph (or if you are using the 'Amy Exaggeration Algorithm' it was 70mph). Mike fished (and caught some fish) and I took a ride in paddleboat with Delanie and Madeline that could have been perilous if not for our strong quads... what wind! It was a really nice night though and s'mores were made! And apparently my 'burn and blow' method for roasting/burning marshmallows is not widely accepted by all! Who knew? Sunday we went into Central City to Waffles 'n More... I was most excited about the flushing toilets (yes people- this was a 'pee in the woods' situation). I rode back with Delanie and Lilly, and we took one corner and slid into this mess:
So, we had to get towed out! The best part was when Eric had to lay down in the mud under the car to attach the tow rope! What fun! Sunday was more relaxing... more sunburning err... tanning. The guys went fishing again which turned into shooting crappie from the boat.... which turned into spearing them with a pitchfork. Ah... days at the lake. We came back on Sunday afternoon and got to stop in Lincoln for a shower (because I couldn't wait to get back to Omaha for one). And I know that I will regret this next move, but you have to see what I looked like after this weekend. Please note that the following comments were made about my 'fro:

2) "We should really warn people about Medusa."

Oh my gosh, your poor car! I thought mine was dirty, but not anymore! Hope your sunburn faded fast and didn't hurt too much.
I LOVE that last picture...
wow! Nature girl you are. Ahhh, the things we do for love!
Can you take me camping when I come up? ;)
wow. cool.
First of all, they were not shooting crappie!!! It was Ghar. The first being illegal, the second compeltely acceptable!!!! Eric thought maybe since there was illegal activity indicated I should set the record straight.
I love the last picture.
