Summer Holidays
My favorite holiday on my favorite lake - it's one big party...
Notice the pontoons on this watercraft - they are supposed to be ABOVE the water line.
Tough duty for the sheriff's department.
Lisa takes Kristi and I for a ride to view the scenery.
Later on, we are picked up to view the fireworks from the lake, courtesy of Carol and Dwight.
Some of the wildlife is camera shy.

Daddy's girl, Kristi watches the fireworks with Ken.

Taking down the cottage next door
Does a tree falling make a noise if no one is there to hear it?
The cute little cottage next door is being demolished to make way for a bigger home (ahh, progress).
Dumping the doors and windows. The owner/operator of the excavator told me he would let me drive it. I'm still waiting for that opportunity.
The small side porch is all that is left standing.
Hooking up the tree to a chain (to ensure it doesn't fall on MY house).
Taking out the tree (see video above).

The weekend trip
The project diverted over 600, 000 cubic yards of dirt, to eliminate flooding from the Big Sandy River.
Check out the size of this guy's bass.

Play ball
Put me in coach. I'm ready to play.
Playing catcher. She is the smallest one on her team.
At bat. I think the size of her batting helmet is a handicap. She can turn her head all the way around in it and the helmet never moves.
In the outfield, ready to make an out. It was the last game of the season, and they handily won.
