Summertime in East Texas........

is mostly spent on Lake Cherokee! My parents bought a lakehouse a few years back along with a boat! When we lived in Mexia we didn't get out on the water much simply b/c we didn't come in very often. So last summer we were actually living at the lake while we were getting our house built so we had tons of time on the lake! This year we've already been out there twice and I love every minute of it. Lake Cherokee has "The Island" where most people end up. You just drive your boat up on the bank and leave it there! They have a volleyball net, tons of sand, a playground set for the kiddos, tons of pavillions, grills, etc! We love it out there. We usually pack a cooler and we are set for the day! We really enjoying playing volleyball and the competition gets pretty stiff out there. Especially on holiday weekends like Memorial Day and the 4th of July. This weekend we will have another packed house with friends and family. We need to get the most out of the house as we can b/c the 'rents have now put it up for sale...tear. They are getting ready to build their new home at the farm in Tatum and it will just be too much of a headache keeping up with it both homes. So we are praying no one buys the house this summer (sorry mom!) Just a couple of pictures from the first time on the lake this summer. The bad thing is Taydem isn't into swimming at all this summer! She loves the boat ride, but hates the water!
