oh how I love...........

Lake Chelan!!! I have been able to go up there 2 times this past week. The first time was on Memorial Day with my friend and sis n law Michelle. We found some cool floaties for half price at Bi-Mart along with a pump to blow them up. Then off we went to Chelan! :) Lake side was really packed as usual but I managed to find a side street to park on.
The water was about 10 feet lower than normal but I am thinking this is normal. Anyways we found a spot on the sand about 20 feet from the water. The water was pretty cold but there were lots of people and kids swimming in it anyways. I didn't go swimming that time but I did get wet enough to get on my floatie. Mich and I slowly managed to get out to the rope and hung on with our feet. It was great just laying there in the sun watching all the parcelling, and paragliding, boats, jet skiers going buy and riding the wakes coming into shore. hehe I love doing that!
The second time was with my friend Mykal. We went up yesterday and found a nice quiet lake side park but we went a little further and there is a tiny local beach that we always go to. And no one was there! PERFECT! I unloaded the floaties and our tasty treats while she crabbed the cooler and her pit bull dog named Anabel. :) hehe She taught Anabel how to swim. It was so cute.. she would be standing on the ground in the shallow water but her feet were doing the jog swim that needed to be doing. She knew she needed to be doing something here. lol
The water was a lot warmer than I expected it to be. I was actually willing and able to go swimming for a bit. The rest of the time I was on the floatie but it was again so beautiful and relaxing... I think we spent like 3-4 hours on the beach. Both of us needed this... we love going up to Chelan especially on a hot day! And there are many more trips to come! I am already getting a good tan with tons of freckles! lol but as my Grandpa Elliott would say " they are angle kisses"! :)
