4th of July Weekend- Lake Degray

For the past 3 years my family has began a tradition of going to the lake with some good friends of ours, Reggie and Gay Hill.  The first year we rented a condo on Lake Ouachita at Mountain Harbor Resort.  The past 2 years we have stayed at Iron Mountain Condos on Lake Degray.  The condos consisted of 4 bedrooms, a living room, and kitchen area.  Very roomy, but as you can imagine, they were pretty pricey so we decided to book 2 rooms at the Lodge on Lake Degray.  It's more hotel style.  The place was so nice with a pool, restaurant, and nice lobby where we could all spend time together playing games and visiting.  We may have been a little squished in the rooms with the amount of people we had, but we just learned that next year we will have to get another room! 

The weekend consisted of going out on the lake, swimming in the pool, and enjoying spending time together in the evenings.  I believe that everyone had a great time doing what they wanted to do.  Tilly did excellent in the water!  She even rode the tube, which we all were shocked!

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights were the nights we all stayed, but me and Matt decided to stay Monday night as well.  We drove into Hot Springs and walked around the downtown area, and then we ate supper at Fisherman's Wharf on Lake Hamilton. After dinner we heading back to the lodge and enjoyed the Fireworks.  All in all, we had a wonderful weekend!

Can't wait for Hallie Grace to be here next year!!
