lake escape

this past sunday was the first sunday i had free in ages now that my viticulture class is over! i took the opportunity to escape to a nearby lake. i drove around for 30 minutes trying to find the public beach, frustratingly ended up at the visitor's center, and they told me i couldn't find it b/c it was 20ft under water. (it's been quite rainy this year) there was another sort of beach i could go to, however, which is what these pics are from. it was perfect! super hot though. i think my car said 98.

hmm...yeah, i don't think those trees are supposed to be in the water.

mmm...snacks....

and of course, reading material! just started this one - good so far. also reading Henri Nouwen Life of the Beloved - about how we are God's beloved children but we don't really believe it (but he's trying to convince us we are).

i'm definitely going back to the lake every chance i get. yay for free time!!!!!!
