The Anderson family embarked on it's first ever lake party. This party was to celebrate Josh and I getting married. Since we live in Texas they weren't able to throw a shower before the wedding so they threw us a party last weekend. There was a lot of apprehension and fear at the thought of my father driving a boat around Lake Murray. We actually rented two boats. All of the old folks were in one boat with dad as the captain and the younger generation hung together. Needless to say our boat had more fun. The old folks tried to pump up the music to make us think they were all hip but it didn't work.
We spent the first 2 hours trying to find Dreher Island from the Dock Side Marina. This was only a 45 min ride but to no ones surprise we got lost. Dad thought he knew what he was doing but if he had only listened to Brian then we would have made it there a lot sooner. I guess since Brian is an "add on" family member and not an original Anderson that his opinion doesn't carry as much weight.
So we finally found our destination where we had a fabulous cook out with South Carolina BBQ and sweet tea! This was the first time our entire family has gotten together since my

grandmother passed away. We had the most fun and it was great to catch up and just have fun together.
The day was filled with food, fun, family, cops, and getting lost. YES! We got lost going home two! The cops stopped us twice that day. Once to make sure that we had life jackets and the other was because dad was doing something illegal.
That's right. Dad was using the gas in a no wake zone. The cop pulled him over and guess what? Dad didn't have his drivers license. hahaha! So he had to give the cop his buisness card. I guess that probably helped since his title is Cheif Federal Judge. The cop was really nice and gave dad a warning after explaining the definition of "No Wake".
One more cool thing happend. We got to see Rick Flair. Apparently he is a professional wrestler that has been around for years. I got a picture of him from behind but my cousin Julie got a picture with him. Click here to see more photos of our lake party and you can see Rick there.
