Fun and Family at the Lake…
We started today by meeting family, old friends, and some new friends at the
Tea-Licious Tea Room on the square in Burnt, TX at 11 am.
From left to right: my wife Jan, our soon-to-be son-in-law Lowell, our daughter Brandi, and her friends, Shawna, Dylan, Gavin, and Jason Oakley
From left to right below: Our daughter-in-law Linda, our son Chris, and Lowell’s friends, Kenny, Sheila, Ashton, and Colton.
After a great lunch and some shopping, we all ended up back at the lake house on Inks Lake, about 10 miles west of Burnet and about 4 miles from where we’re parked.
With the temperature in the mid-90’s, most everyone quickly hit the lake.
This is my son Chris’ Century Ski Boat that he completely rebuild, including the 327 engine. It’s great for tubing. 
After a great spaghetti dinner meal fixed by our daughter-in-law Linda, a bunch of us set out on a sunset lake cruise on the pontoon boat. 
Chris has some help at the wheel.
We saw a number of deer along the banks, including this one.
We also saw this Bald Eagle sunning himself along a retaining wall. Unfortunately i never got a good shot.
And what’s a sunset cruise without a couple of good sunsets. 
Then, of course, when the sun goes down, the moon comes up.
Tomorrow will be another day of gelling on the lake, before the big day on Monday. And we’ve still got more people coming into town, including our opposite in-laws, who we’ll meet for the first time.
More tomorrow…
