Megan Rides A Wave! (so do Scotty, Chris, and both of us)

We spent another glorious weekend up at Apache Lake and were joined by Scott, Chris, Megan, Shelly, Misty, Patrick, and Hugh. The Arizona crowd does not mess around on Memorial Day weekend so Dina and I experienced a moment of panic when we drove in at 2:30 on Friday and found that all of the campsites in our usual area were taken, and the large beach area that we usually camp next to was completely full of RVs and tents. Luckily we drove back up the road and found a spot at one of the more remote campsites that was right on the beach, and a perfect spot for our big group. The weekend was spent floating around on the lake in various inflatables, playing with the dogs on the beach, having fun with our friends, and of course wakeboarding! Here's our friend Megan who had just tried boarding for the first time, and Megs, Chris and Scotty by the campfire.



Pix of Scotty, who popped right out of the water and rode all over the lake after just learning how to stand up last summer at Patagonia will be posted later, as we have to get them from Hugh and Patrick. Oh, and here's Bella, who decided to take a trip by herself, and Bella and Rizzo's favorite resting spot at the end of the day

The Saga of Boatie, AKA We Love Apache Lake!

Well, since we have been here, boatie has been on land far too often for Dina's taste.

About a month ago our friend Mia introduced us to Lake Apache, a link on a string of lakes up above Globe, AZ, and it is truly the most beautiful lake we have ever been on! We've now been to Apache twice, this past weekend with Patrick, Hugh, and Ananda (in fact check their blog for some other great lake photos, and here are ours...
