Group Trip to Lake Eufaula

I finally remembered to bring my camera to do a post about our trip to Lake Eufaula in Alabama today. I did not remember, however, to bring the camera cord. So all I have today are pictures from my phone. Guess they will have to do!

This past weekend, a big group of our friends rented 3 houses on Lake Eufaula for a long weekend. As per usual, this group is always has way too much fun when we all get together. We had the absolute best time!

This was only a few of the people that came on the trip. A lot of people had left on Saturday to go get ready before we could take a true group picture.

Lake Eufaula was absolutely beautiful. It is such a huge lake! All the many times I have driven past it, I guess I just never realized the massive size that it really is. We all decided to hang out on the sandbar at Rabbit Island on Friday and Saturday. It was the perfect spot to just float in the water.

We packed sandwiches and snacks and pretty much stayed out on the water from sun up to sun down.

We even had something to keep us occupied. Only a bunch of people with small children would have a toy boat that they keep in their boats! The sandbar was full of mussels, so we spent a lot of time trying to ring the boat. We had quite the load by the end of the day!

The fun didn't just stop at the sandbar, we even took a swim in the slough that our house was on and jumped off the dock and played in the water there.

If you can tell, the water around the boat dock had a little algae issue going, which is why I didn't swim there. Or it could have been because they had spotted an alligator chilling back there, as well!

My brother has the ugliest swim shirt in the world that he brought with him. We all found it amusing to steal it from him at every opportunity and wear it. Here I am proudly sporting the "shark shirt" that is soooo hideous!

Later that night, I stole it out of Brad's room for Kyle to sport. Sadly, our rough housing with the shirt ended badly with a hole in the armpit. Poor Brad!

And speaking of ugly clothes, we decided that Friday night would be redneck night. We all had to dress the part. We are a special group, I tell ya! I of course brought my jorts and camo Alabama Wing House shirt.

I thought it was appropriate to wear a camo shirt with Alabama written across the back with a deer head. Ha!

However, I think Brad took the prize for the evening.

Nothing like a mullet wig and a Bush Hog mesh hat to amp up the redneck vibe! Our poor waitress, KK thought he was a celebrity in hiding. SMH....
Needless to say, we had a blast. It's wonderful to have a group of friends like I have. We can't wait until we go back next year!
