When I was growing up, the family of a close friend would take family vacations most summers to the Ouachita Mountains. Lake Ouachita is just north and east of Hot Springs. It may be one of the prettiest lakes I've ever seen, crystal clear water and mountains and trees that run right down to the waters edge.
The last time I went with them I was probably 16 or 17 years old so it was pretty neat to go back again with his parents and family.
Myself, my wife, my friends parents and his wife and two kids headed out last saturday with a ski boat a jetski and the Rv they were staying in.
We spent most days anchored off points and islands around the lake floating around the boat and drinking cold beer.
Here is the view from our hotel room at Shangri-La Resort.
The pool, the trees, the lake and the mountains in the background.
Here is the ski boat at their campsite and my adopted nephew and favorite 5 year old, my buddies son.
Me and Emory on the boat, all about to go for a cruise. (Lifting that can was about the hardest work I did all week)
My wife enjoying the ride
Emory tubing and knee boarding at five. Kid is part fish :good:
Water like glass.
