It's amazing that after we get all our lake stuff into the van there is still room for us, but we did fit. Barely. Somewhere out of view we have three chairs, numerous noodles and rings, a cooler, several bags, and three more people.  We're good at this packing business (see this post for evidence).

As it got later in the day, the beach began to fill up.  Scads of people parked their stuff under the one tree on the beach, creating a scene reminiscent of Go, Dog, Go!  The only thing missing from the book was all the activity taking place IN the tree and ON the tree!  We saw two people wearing shirts in the water.  I could hear the man's southern accent from many yards away, and then I knew for sure they weren't from around here.

I attempted to take a panorama of the landscape, and if I can figure out how to stitch the photos all together I'll share that later.
