Rainy Days at the Lake

On those hot summer days one of my very favorite things to do is to visit the Marshcreek State Park – home to my favorite lake. But what about on those rainy summer days? Well, I still like to visit the lake!

The day started hot and sunny enough, so I packed up my life vest (and my pal Shilah the Husky) and headed out to the lake.

I was surprised to find that the water was warm, as in bathtub warm! So I had no hesitation in jumping right in!

Shilah had a bit more hesitation with the water, would you believe she’s never been to a lake before! Not to worry though, I was able to coax her right in.

Just as I was starting to get warmed up a huge storm came through and dampened my chance to hop on a boat rental!

But after waiting out the heaviest of rain, I wasn’t going to let it spoil my fun, and it was back in the water for Shilah and me!

I even took to some good old fashioned dog paddling, because I of course had to show off my mad swimming skills to my pal Shilah!

Over the weekend it got hot hot hot, and instead of just laying around the house panting I decided to go to the lake!

I’m no stranger to the Marshcreek Lake, in fact I took my first paddleboarding adventure out there just last year.

This time though I decided to take to the lake via kayak!

The wind in my ears was just what I needed to cool off on a hot summer day.

Sea Legs

Slowly but surely I’m earning my sea legs. You might remember I went on a boat outing a few months ago up in the Poconos. Well yesterday I went on another boat outing at Marsh Creek State Park.

On a 90+ degree day, it was the perfect weather to spend on the lake.

I have to admit I was so excited I did a little yelling. How can you not, when you’re on the open water!?

We did have a little “man overboard” incident…

I know what this looks like, but I swear I didn’t push him!

Dad probably should have been wearing his life vest.

Well, I’ve pretty much mastered this boating thing. Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy! I think next time I might try my hand paw at windsurfing!
