One of our family's favorite and most unique evening outings is the AIRBOAT!! Its been years since I've been on the thing, so I was equally excited as Elsie Anne. She had been a little sceptical in the weeks prior, but seeing her boy cousins get off the boat with huge grins, made her eager to try it out!! Thatcher, Tullen & EA loading up the boat!!
FLYYYY-ING across the water!! It is such a freeing feeling!
The ONLY, but MAJOR, downer of Lake Iamonia is the abundance of ALLIGATORS!! See this guys EYES and NOSE sticking out of the water? You can tell how long the gator is by looking at the distance between the two. How ever many INCHES apart the they are, is how many FEET long, from tip to tail, the gator is!! This one is about 11 FEET LONG.... yes, in our back yard!!! Don't worry, we have our own EXTERMINATORS... my Dad and Brothers!!!
We road across the Lake about 2mi to a Landing & Biker Bar, which is about 25mi away by car! The kids got RootBeers and the grown-ups enjoyed our own Cold Ones!
Elsie Anne, Tullen and Thatcher hanging on the beach of the Landing! Somehow they ended up playing waste deep in the water, even after I had just seen the gator?! The water is really clear, and my Dad assures me that gators are just as scared of us, as we are them! Who knows, maybe he was just trying to ease my mind?!
The 'Fish Camp Bar' full of Harley's and their owners!!! Great place for people-watching:)
Back at the house, the kids cool off in the hose... and splash each other with their cups!!
Elsie Anne enjoyed her first airboat adventure... so I'm sure there will be more in our near future:)
