We had a chance to go to some property that is located across the lagoon from our property, so I took a picture of our place. You can see our deck and boardwalk, along with the boats on the shore, across the water.

One of our neighbors there at the lake has a little mini farm that he opens up for friends to visit. We took the grandkids and they had a ball feeding and playing with the animals. Here's a baby pigeon.
Here are some of the animals that he has on his mini farm....

They both got to hold some chickens in their lap. The dog was a bit jealous, but gets along great with the animals. He runs around chasing the goats and they play along with him. Some of the geese actually chase the dog!


This one rooster really took to Mark. He came up to his side and jumped up on his lap. Needless to say, Mark was a little startled by his visitor! He loves for you to rub his belly! He sat there for quite sometime until Mark finally lifted him and put him onto the ground.

Feeding the Alpacas.
The neighbor down the road kindly invited us to swim at their lakefront. It was a great place for the kids to have fun. Should have took more pictures. They had a ball jumping off of that dock into the water. They swam under the dock and did canon balls for quite a long time.
The grandkids spent several hours casting a bobber with a sinker on it into the lake and reeling it back in. Who would ever imagine that they would have so much fun just doing that! Our grandson really wanted to go fishing, but grandpa's back just wasn't up to it. I did row us out a bit into the lake and to fish. My grandson did get a couple of nibbles on his hook, but couldn't get it to latch on.


Heading up to the lake again this weekend. Hopefully those thunder storms miss us! Have a wonderful weekend.....
