Finally…Okoboji!
Is this really the first weekend I’ve been here this year? WOW…and since it is the weekend of the 4th, that means summer is basically half over. DAMN!
We didn’t get here till midnight last night, although our “plan” was to come down on Thursday. Nevertheless, I am just happy to finally be here and The Kid is ecstatic that she got to bring a niece along. Actually, it makes my life a lot easier when The Kid has a friend or relative to play with.
I was wondering what I had left here from last year and was happily surprised to see a drawer full of clothing that I apparently bought at the end of last summer. But of course - my elation turned to depression when I realized I am a hell of a lot bigger than I was last year. Maybe I will wear them next year…
Kelly and Denny, some Sioux Falls friends, joined us for breakfast at the Lighthouse. I was happy that we got there before noon so I could order breakfast. This was the first time I ordered the eggs benedict and it was great! Since it’s my first weekend at the lake this year, it’s 4th of July weekend and any other justification for boozing before lunchtime I could think of, I also had 2 mimosas. Yummy! Afterwards we stopped at the Barn Swallow (I have a rant on another post).
