Happy Father's Day

To celebrate Father's Day we spent time at the lake all day Sunday. It was a lazy and somewhat relaxing day. It can never be 100% relaxing when you have to keep your eyes on two little ones around the water. Fortunately, mom and dad's house has a gated deck, so we were able to gate the kids in. The several inches of water in the baby pool kept the kids busy while the adults drank margaritas, played cornhole, ate chips and salsa, and chatted.
The last two lake trips were rain outs for us. Both times we took the boat out it started to rain and ended our fun. Luckily this time there was no rain, but instead a lake filled with thick, sludge-type algae. Lake St. Marys has been battling poor water conditions for several years. This was the worst it has ever been. We all described it as John Deere tractor paint poured into the lake with an added bonus of a dead fish scent. My words don't do justice and I don't have any pictures to back up how bad it really was. We hope the water quality problem is solved fast so we can enjoy our boat rides more.
It was a great day despite the St. Patrick's Day water. Happy Fathers Day, Dad and Tony!
