    Tesalate Beach Towel

    June 2, 2021 - By 

    Today I’m sharing an amazing new product just in time for summer! Tesalate makes both beach and workout towels. I was sent a beach towel to try out and share with you. Over the Memorial Day weekend, I had my son Drew try it out. Things we really liked about it: folds down for a very small and takes up less room in my swim bag fast drying super absorbent soft light weight I can’t wait to try this towel at the beach as one of the main features is that its sand-resistant fabric. How amazing! Another thoughtful touch is…

    Water Skiing on Lake Martin 2015

    June 9, 2015 - By 

    Over the Memorial Day weekend, we continued our tradition of going up to the lake with our friends. Last year they added boat riding and tubing to the fun. This year they got water skis. Drew tried water skiing a couple years ago with some other friends, but was limited to just a few tries, none of which were successful. He was anxious to try it again. Joe’s Dad, Ben, gave Drew some advise about what to do. However, Drew’s 1st attempt was short lived as you can see from this picture. The 2nd attempt was more of a success.…

    Lovin’ Life at Lake Martin 2011

    June 2, 2011 - By 

    Lake Martin is man-made; formed by the construction of Martin Dam on the Tallapoosa River. It spans across Alabama counties: Tallapoosa, Elmore and Coosa. A 44,000-acre lake with over 750 miles of beautifully wooded shoreline. Lake Martin is a great place to swim, boat, fish, water ski, and camp. It’s a great quick getaway for many Alabama residents, especially those in Auburn. Source With it only being about a 30 minute drive from our house, it makes for a great day trip. This year our friends invited us back to Lake Martin for a Memorial Day celebration. Some other friends…
