Our Labor Day Adventure

The Drive to Athens

We went to Athens on Labor Day to see our Lake Properties...we, being, Karen and Shannon and I, and Lisa and Elizabeth. The only vehicle big enough for all of us is Grandma's van, so that's the ride we take when we all go somewhere together. Lisa and Karen were the chauffeurs for the trip.

Once we got to Athens, it was time to eat, so Elise's old workplace, "Bean and Burger" was our first stop. With your meal, you get free beans and ice cream from the bean and freezer bars.



Around the Ranch
After lunch, we drove over to Safari Waters Ranch, and walked around our properties, and around the lakes. Here we are, standing in front of Trophy Lake, the lake our land is on.


This trip, we saw some zebras, deer, and an elk. On our trek on Lisa's 5-acre plot, we saw a beautiful butterfly flying around us. Shannon even brought home a couple souvenirs... ticks!


Treats on the way home
On the way home, we stopped at our favorite ice cream store, Braums, and got a snack.


It was a fun day, but tiring because of the heat and humidity. Maybe soon, we can go out there again and go fishing. The lakes have black bass, crappie, perch, yellow and mud catfish. And since we are property owners, we don't need a fishing license!
