Del Valle Day With the Girls

Went to Del Valle on Friday. We packed some lunch, took blankets and were off for a day of "girl fun". We had a blast! There was hardly anyone there, and it was so peaceful. The water was just right, so we all went swimming first thing. Marina went back-and-forth on that lake non-stop. Back floating seems to be her favorite. We ate a little lunch then went swimming again. After that we went to the other side of the lake and rented a pedal boat. Everyone loved it except for Marina. We talked her into going up front to pedal which brought a little bit of a smile. Come to find out "Captain Marina" had a plan to take us back to the dock. We were ready to come back in after one hour of pedaling anyway. I pedaled the entire time. What a great day for Del Valle memories. Everything from going up there with my whole family to show Aunt Patsy when I was about 8; to Carratti Jeweler annual picnics; times with boyfriends; rainy day fun with Lisa Ising; lots of times with Dave and all of our friends; camping with our girls; and the last time for Jim's Celebration of Life camp-out. Lots of memories : ) Today... lots of sunburn.
