The girls eventually got up, and Eaddie left for church with Eli. I made a &#8220;grilled cheese bacon, egg, and cheese&#8221; sandwich out of some frozen grilled cheeses and leftover bacon that I found. Then Summer and I wanted to take the dogs to the lake to see how they&#8217;d like the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczPDsnlMXQAi4vsjoVU3mfs8E0412nL46xf4fRY9eCZUErxHIu9frUNB3UbviebaZD61IVyL_RmKmmahxFrfMsNcliDzlrRZOAvT4zunMZ55SQ_zTwyq6Aw5zeQryddtIkqZpWkqmXZk6Dei-gbTykjAWw=w1638-h1233-s-no-gm?authuser=0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We waited around for Eaddie to get home in the afternoon, and we loaded everyone up to go to the marina. We walked around a little bit at first, and the dogs had to run around sniffing everything. Then, as we predicted, Stilgar dove right into the water. Muad&#8217;Dib was a little slower, but eventually did get all the way in on the boat ramp. Stilgar would have tried to swim to the other side of the lake if he hadn&#8217;t been on the leash. We let them run around to play, and I even let Muad&#8217;Dib off of his leash for a little bit. I wasn&#8217;t quite confident in Stilgar&#8217;s recall to let him go, but he stayed on the long leash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczMIXyj4KYVBrrwFjoHLS5leggLrWhtEDxpHLx6fQNCDDzNp1YO45fjRLiElTKbzv-aHRV8h5d_BtFCeaCILW6lLHQmU6j2NifBRGwqyBuSIGIpxUqnAwiWXLhmVEULzgZDcqfUQivDXu3lnGIRF0qiB4g=w1638-h1233-s-no-gm?authuser=0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After we had enough of the water, I rode them around the loop on my Onewheel to dry off. We encountered a persimmon tree right by the road, and they absolutely loved those. I had one off of the ground, and it was pretty sweet. I tried not to let them eat too many of them though, for fear that some of the seeds would get stuck coming out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczOFnKgR5DxKz4zABAx7wwAmu7blc5IoEYlcnAXk2akoykiiKaYs_pRMBV6vDIhJ55tlfIhnRr-9wPaSFW3BfT4gdIiMxLWj0nsG4fwMfkDE91gffRz7-MbKF84y-k3hbPgiGHdb5DxtU5q2CqlM1Ph28A=w1638-h1233-s-no-gm?authuser=0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We made a couple loops, and then Stilgar passed something bright orange. I thought maybe the persimmons had just gone through him that quickly, but when I picked it up, it seemed really hard. I couldn&#8217;t tell what it was, and I wasn&#8217;t willing to dig through the poop to figure it out. We finished our loop and packed everyone in to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dogs got fed as soon as we got back, and then they were pooped out. I went and got some KFC for the rest of us, and then the girls retreated to their televisions. I took a late shower and wound down pretty quickly. It was a fun day, but the weekends feel particularly short now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Three months of driving&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up pretty early this morning, but things went pretty slowly after that.
