We've been to this lake many times. (This is where I learned to water ski.) AnThe weather couldn't have been better for spending Father's Day at the lake. Although the day's temperature reached a high of 102 degrees, the light breeze and cool refreshing water made it just wonderful!
d there have been times when the heat was unbearable. But this time around, it was perfect. We met up with the Hunter family who also brought their boat and stand up jet ski. The boys had a blast taking the jet ski for a spin. Later on they rode the inflatable hotdog which we towed around with the boat. I decided to ride it too on our way out even if I knew I would feel so sore the next day.We usually plan on spending a long day at the lake. We would set up a tent, turn on the portable radio, and just chill out. I also typically bring a lot of food. But we didn't plan on staying too long this time, so I packed my picnic ware with some cold food: tuna sandwiches, pasta salad, and fresh fruit. Easy to prepare and easy to clean up. As always, we loaded up with cold drinks and plenty of water. I also brought some sour gummi bears for dessert. But Trevor got a hold of them and so they were gone in a flash.
Before heading back to the marina, we rode up the narrows. Trevor took a turn in b
eing the "captain." I like going to the narrows. The water there seems cleaner, cooler, and more blue... and the surroundings are prettier. It's sad to note that Lake Mead's water level has gone down about 108 feet. On the mountain sides bordering the lake, one can clearly see where the water level used to be. It appears as though a giant paintbrush swiped the mountain sides with white. Hope that the force of nature will allow Lake Mead to stay the way it is. We have built so many memories around here and hope to make many more.
