One More Lake Day

I guess I forgot to tell you yesterday WHICH lake we visited. WHOOPSIE!! Ryan's grandparents own a cottage on Lake Webster, in northern Indiana, so that's where we stayed. Can I tell you about one more day at the lake?

We got up early Saturday and went out by the water for just a little bit to enjoy the sunrise {read: listen to the guy continue building his house}...but we couldn't linger long, because we had to get busy on our race training!

Let me just tell you about THAT real quick-like. It was actually a pretty perfect morning to run, because it was overcast and not that warm. We decided to run together and had to go four miles. My goal was to stay as close to the shoreline as possible, because if you have to run four miles on vacation, you should at least get to enjoy a view.

We weren't far into the run before we realized there was an actual 5K going on in the town that day, so we were hurrying to miss THAT route so as not to mess up the runners. We also quickly learned that there aren't consistent roads that follow the shore line. In an attempt to get back over to it, we ended up running on a state highway, and there I was in my Olympic USA shirt. I sputtered to Ryan, "I wanted to be the girl training by the lake, not the girl hefting it down a state highway in an OLYMPIC SHIRT!!! In the end, we got our four miles in, not in a great time AT ALL - but it was done.

And on the way home, I got my picture with the finish line of that 5K in case I don't get to the real one in my race. {Something I fear might ACTUALLY happen since last night I crashed into bleachers and now have a bleeding, swollen knee. Don't ask.}

After we recovered from our lousy run, we headed out for some fun! Ryan and I used to attend church camp not far from this lake, and the gentleman who was the camp chef now runs his own pie shop. And his pies are uh-maze-ing. So we went to visit the pie shop and possibly purchased a homemade black raspberry pie. {SERVING OF FRUIT!!!!}

In case you're wondering, it's delicious.

We borrowed Allen's Gator and rode into town to check out the festival happenings. {Tiny festival happening that day.} Nothing we couldn't live without, but we thought it would be rude to leave without getting SOME kind of treat. So we visited the slushie truck!!

Then it seemed only right to go for another quick boat ride...just the two of us.

We got a makeover from our niece. Who wore it better??

Thanks for your votes!

We had a scrumptious dinner that night - ribs and cheesy potatoes to celebrate Ryan's brother's birthday!

After dinner, the family went on a sunset boat ride, but Ryan and I wanted one more little date, so we walked to a coffee shop I'd noticed earlier that day...and it was DARLING. We relaxed and enjoyed iced coffee together.

When we went home, we hung out on the deck for a while, with bug spray of course!

The next morning, we had to pack up, clean up and come home. :(

Thanks for a great weekend, lake. We love you!!!!
