The Simple Pleasures of a Dock!


The coolest thing about Wallowa Lake is that they have these docks that are out in the lake for you to tie your boat to and just hang out, swim, or do whatever. We asked at the cabin how we could get one and we were told that most of them were private and but some of them were public, you just had to get up early enough to snag one. Ron was all over that! So after check in,we had to launch the boat and check them out!! However, there was no way to know what ones were private and which ones were public and since Tammy was with us (she isn't our shy one!), we decided to ask someone! Well, apparently all of the public ones were tied together for the fireworks show (By they way, they were beautiful! Gotta love the small town pride for our country and the firework show they put on!! Wonderful! I highly recommend going!) but a nice lady, Marty, said she owned two and if noone was on the dock, we could use hers! What a wonderful lady! So on Sunday, we took full advantage of using it!! The dock had a ladder to get into the lake, a picnic table, a little "beach" cutout to hang your feet off and a perfect place to tie the boat up! Jonathan got to use his boat, we did some swimming (even though the weather was kindof chilly for that!), dancing, and the kids did some knee boarding off the dock! It was wonderful! Whoever you are and wherever you are, Marty Thompson, Thank you soo much! We had the best time! We owe you one!

I love that dock! We had so much fun! That lady was very nice and grandma would say we needed to give like a basket or something. But we can't really do that since we already left :-). The lake was freezing though! I love your slide show Debbie, you need to teach me how to do them today :-).
