We had our Naber's Family Thanksgiving at Possum Kingdom Lake this year. It was the weekend before Thanksgiving and the weather was so nice. We ate outside by the lake.
You'll notice the naked baby by the lake wearing her Mardi Gras beads. All rednecks let their babies be naked by the lake. I wanted to fit in. She also had a bath in the cabin sink amongst clutter on either side of her.
That night we fit 15 adults 6 kids and 5 dogs in the tiny cabin living room for some good 'ole guitar playin' and country music singing. Mckenzee loved it. She danced and went from guitar to guitar watching them.
The paddle boating was also quite fun...well paddle boating always looks fun until you get in and remember how hard it is. Sara and I took it out for a little while. At first it was so kick butt I didn't think I could make it 20 yds, but then it got better and we ended up going all over the lake.
Water is not so much my thing. It kind of freaks me out. I am not a great swimmer and murky lake water makes me think of murky lake water movies where the lochness monster comes out and swallows the people in the paddle boat. I tried to push such things from my mind and had fun until a big motor boat (I don't know my boats) came by in front of us and the waves it put off sent our little paddle boat a flying. My swimming suddenly improved as Sara and I tried to make our way back over to the paddle boat to hold on to it. We took life jackets, but weren't wearing them.
Okay...that didn't really happen, but I thought it would make for a good story. The part where I started lying was when the paddle boat went flying. The motor boat did send off waves that scared us, but we remained in the boat and the boat remained upright.
He he he.

Okay...you are right...that was a butthole-ish thing to do. I did take your picture...you were right next to kenz, by the lake, when she was wearing her sunglasses, playing naked on the blanket....I added some...hope you like them. I know the close up of us was not your fav, but I think you look cute and other people will too. You look really good in the one with kim too. I added mom too...I realized she was also left out. I wish we had a pic of us in the paddle boat.
