Dave and Carolyn planned a visit to Deer Creek Reservoir this morning. |
![]() |
My camera and I tagged along. |
![]() |
It's not all that exciting to wave goodbye to people's backs. |
![]() |
Fortunately, Dave took his underwater camera. This is his view of Jacob's back. |
![]() |
Dave enjoyed taking pictures of his family on this peaceful outing. |
![]() |
I occasionally checked on the group with my camera, which has a 50x optical zoom. I could see that Carolyn had fallen in the water. |
![]() |
Dave had a better view. |
![]() |
I missed this completely but heard all about it later. |
![]() |
This is my picture of Julia and Melanie approaching the island. |
![]() |
I was able to see Carolyn, too. Pretty much I was trying to hold the camera still. |
![]() |
In the meantime, Dave was taking artsy photos. |
![]() |
He took a selfie. |
![]() |
His view of the island was much better than mine. |
![]() |
I could, however, see that they were at the island. |
![]() |
And I knew Dave was taking pictures. |
![]() |
If you are thinking that this looks like a lot of fun, you would be correct. |
![]() |
Heads up to future summer visitors: This is already on the agenda. |
![]() |
This was my actual view without my zoom. Papa and I took turns with the camera so we could check on everyone. The morning was beautiful. |
![]() |
I did not know that Dave's family was swimming. |
![]() |
All reports were that the water wasn't that cold. |
![]() |
Even Carolyn agreed. |
![]() |
We rented the paddle boards for one hour. |
![]() |
Fortunately, Dave's camera has a clock, so they knew when to return. |
![]() |
Dave took a few more up-close pictures before heading back. |
![]() |
Julia took turns paddling her mom around. |
![]() |
This was a fun outing for everyone, even Papa and me. |
![]() |
Maybe I should ask for caption suggestions for this picture. I'm thinking something about Captain Ahab. |
![]() |
As Jacob approached the dock, he asked me to take his picture. |
![]() |
This didn't go as planned. |
![]() |
Nate didn't want to give up his paddle board. |
![]() |
Julia, however, was done. |
![]() |
Jacob caught my attention as he tried again. I'm sorry my camera missed the splash. |
![]() |
I took another picture of Nate, but Jacob called to me one last time. |
![]() |
Success! |
![]() |
Proud Dave also caught the same photo. |
![]() |
The fact is that there is only one way off a paddle board after a headstand. |
![]() |
Then, we were off to Granny's. Julia likes fry sauce. |
![]() |
I'm not saying we planned paddle-boarding as an excuse to return to Granny's. No, I'm not saying that at all. |
![]() |
However, this is my very own jalapeno burger. |
![]() |
Jacob had his own, too. |
![]() |
I knew I didn't need to order a milkshake, because everyone shared. This is Mel's Reese's shake. |
![]() |
Carolyn ordered a chocolate-raspberry shake. It was excellent. |
![]() |
However, the all-time winner was Papa's peach shake, which did a quick vanishing act, but not before I got three bites. |
