Finally, after weeks of hard work we got to take a break over Memorial Day weekend. We went to Grapevine Lake in Texas. It is a massive man-made lake. We tried for about an hour to rent a boat, but it was booked with the many people there having the same idea. So all that was left was a jet ski that holds 3 people at a time. Which would not have been a bright idea with an 87-year-old lady with us. I would have loved trying it though, because of the speed they can go. 🙂 But we got lucky because a group cancelled, so we actually got a real boat that could hold about ten people. We only had four~ Mavis (87 year old woman), her daughter Annette, the granddaughter Sade who is my age, and I. I took a handful of pictures, when I was not operating the boat of course (which was about half of the trip). After the lake we went to eat at a restaurant for lunch and then got some cold stone afterwards. We then went and walked around a park with a pond and fountain in the middle. It was pretty. Here are my pictures I took:
