Paddleboarding at Eagle Mountain Lake!

So this weekend was memorial day and we didnt have much planned, figured it would be nice to just do nothing for once. Of course, that never happens with us. Friday night we went out to dinner and a movie. We had dinner at the sushi place down the street it was pretty good, a little expensive but worth it. Not knowing what movies were out we just drove over to the theater to see and we were going to see the new movie with Zach Efron, I was so excited! BUT, Justin wasnt so much, we saw Men in Black 3 instead. Pretty funny movie if I do say so myself!

The next morning we woke up and went up to Eagle Mountain lake for some paddle boarding. Thought we were going to get up there early in the morning but on a saturday morning it was harder to get up than we thought! We went out to the lake with some new friends that we met through my work.

When we got there we had to wait about an hour for the paddle boarding rental people to come back to rent us some boards, which was ok. We met the marina maintenance guy and he was a character. He showed us a picture of an alligator that they caught in the lake a few weeks prior. Made us all a little hesitant to get in the water, the thing was huge. Here is the report that the news did on the alligator before they caught it.

We put the alligators in the back of our minds and hopped into the water. It was perfect, not cold and not too hot! They gave us a quick lesson on how to paddle around and we were off. Justin brought his GoPro but unfortunately we didnt switch off in time before the memory card got full so there aren't any pictures of him :( We will have to get some next time!

Paddleboarding! 

Looks like alligator country! I got tired of standing up, plus sitting is way easier.

I think i hit justin a few times with my paddle! 

We stopped on the docks for some snacks and a few drinks, while we were sitting there some baby ducks came up and were getting on and off my board. THey were so cute and they were coming super close, I finally tried to reach out and touch one and they let me! Momma duck got pretty upset though, she was quacking super loud at them to go back to her. After 2 hours of paddling around we were all pretty tired and went up to the marina bar to get some food, we were starving!!!

That night we came home and we were exhausted. We had planned on going salsa dancing with our new friends but we didnt have the energy. We fell asleep for a nap around 6 and didnt wake back up until 10pm! Oops! Made going back to sleep that night really hard! The next day we slept in as much as we could but we were supposed to go over to my bosses house for a cook out. We eventually got off our butts and got going, We hung out at their house BBQing and playing cards until late that night. The next day we relaxed and did absolutely nothing. Overall it was a great weekend and we look forward to hanging out with our new buddies some more!
