Day at the Lake!

So today, my family and I and my grandparents went to Sparks Lake. It was a beautiful day of a lovely 73 degrees! Absolutely b-e-a-u-tiful day! We packed everything up onto the car (4 bikes, 3 inner tubes, and 2 kayaks) and drove off. Well the bike bringing was a bust. No bikes were allowed on the trails.. so that was pointless. Although they kayaks were fun! I was the first out on the kayaks, and I paddled out to a little island out in the lake. It was made completely of big rocks jutting out of the water. I docked the boat and climbed ashore. It was so pretty out there! Absolutely amazing! Eventually after exploring the island, I got back into my kayak and paddled away. Then I came back and ate. And had snickers bars. Oh yum! Wow, isn't THAT exciting. Heh heh.. Now the water in the lake is absolutely FREEZING. But I had been sitting in the sun for a while, widdeling away at a stick I had found, and was extremely hot. So i decided I was gonna jump in. I climbed out to a high rock that led to deep water, and was spazzing out cause suddenly, I didn't really want to get in that freezing water. But now this other lady on the other side of the little inlet of the lake that was kinda like a swimming hole was watching and cheering me on along with my brother, so I knew i couldn't back out. I counted down and jumped. Longest jump of my life. Well not really that long, but I sure had enough time for a lot of thoughts to go through my head. "oh noooo, here it comes! its gonna be cold! crap why did i jump!? ahh! THATS SO COLD!!!" and then i was in the water, and it was over my head. My head hurt so bad from the cold. It was so freakin icy! but once I had gotten over the brain freeze and eventually emptied my nose from all the icy lake water that had shot up it, it was really fun, and my body was so numb that I didn't even feel the cold! So i did some more rock jumping, and my bro jumped in, and it was all good! Finally it was time to go. I fell asleep partially on the way back, and now I am nice and clean, and know that Sparks Lake, is a SUPER fun lake to go and explore!
