Ijoboko


Well, we are back from vacation. It was nice to get away, but the weather was backwards for our long weekend at the lake. It was beautiful on Thursday (see photo!) Perfect Lake Okoboji weather. YB got to fish (nothing caught) and we got to take boogs to the beach for awhile. But then it all went downhill. This Canadian cold front moved in and Friday, Saturday and Sunday were windy, damp, and cold. YB couldn't fish and boogs couldn't swim.
Being at the lake is not fun when the weather is gloomy and chilly. You can only go to Wal-Mart for entertainment so many times (Yes, we were there 3 times in the span of the trip). You can only look at used car lots for so long (Yes, we did this for one whole evening. YB's lookin' to buy a "new" used car this fall). You can only go to so many resort boutiques when you have only enough funds to window shop (Yes, I hit all the high spots).
The cabin is only so big. Even with three people and a dog in there it seems crowded when you can't go outside to play. I wanted to tell YB that we should pack it up and come home Saturday morning, but he really wanted to try and get out and fish again SO, we packed up the car Saturday night and left by 6:30 Sunday morning.
The lake...definitely more fun in warm summer weather!
