Lake Norman days 2 and 3

I am desperately trying to read a book the size of the Bible here this week, so I haven't been on the computer much.  But we have had a fun two days of swimming, movies, and boating, that I thought I better catch up.

Tuesday the we swam all morning in the lake.  In the afternoon, it thunderstormed, so we took the kids to a movie.  (Some to Ant Man, some to Inside Out).  Today was the day with the Pontoon boat.  Everyone had a blast boating all over the lake.  Arlington got burned, though, because she was out over 8 hours, and no amount of sunscreen could stop a burn to the cheeks and shoulders on that girl.

Enjoy the pictures:


The house we are staying in.  To the right is the main house (With 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) and to the right is the game room and another bed and bath above the garage)

This was my spot on the boat.  I was good.
