We unloaded, showered and finally went to the marina to their boat. As they started it up the battery was dead. Some friendly folks helped us charge it and we finally got going.
After all of the events we had all been through throughout the day we all kept laughing about our comedy of errors.
But then the fun began. We had a great time tubing, skiing, and swimming. The boys were having a blast. Jennifer had a devilishly good time trying to cause me pain so I didn’t ride too much.
The scenery at Lake Tenkiller is beautiful. The water is pretty blue for a lake in Oklahoma and everywhere you look it is simply gorgeous.
We had fun on the lake until dark and then went to the house, showered and crashed.
The next day we had planned on going to several State Parks near Tenkiller. However, the kids had so much fun the day before that I decided to be Dad of the Year and let them enjoy more time at the lake. We visited Cherokee Landing State Park Saturday morning and then spent the rest of the day back at Tenkiller with Jennifer and her son, Noah, who had now joined us, and Judy.
We had another great day. The water was more choppy which made the tubing more exciting.
After hanging out on the lake all afternoon we rode four wheelers for a couple hours. The boys had a blast doing that. Then we ate dinner at Big Daddy’s restaurant “on the Dam Highway.” It was pretty good.
Then we went back to the lake house and cooked S’mores outside on the fire and had a great time just talking. Everyone was exhausted and we finally went to bed.
The next morning we had a great breakfast together and then we packed up and left for Brushy Lake State Park.
We can’t say thanks enough to the Ashford’s for a great weekend. They have a wonderful place with a beautiful view and we had a great time just being with them.
