Funness.....
So me, Jordan, and Ashley headed out for a cold fun day on Egypt Island. Because Mimi had invited some fiends to stay at the lake house, we decided to go straight to the island. It was winter, and the water was down low, so we coldn't take boats to get there like we normally do, for fear of the boat tipping and us getting hypothermia. We took out all of our stuff, the red box and a load of 6 bricks, and started our long 30 minute trek to the island. We took the old loggers' tail and went around coves, through the woods, over fallen tees, up hills, and across gorges. Halfway there, Mimi realized that we could have driven there instead of walked there. UGH!!! Well, I guess the exercise was good. The load of brick we had was sooooo heavy, so we solved the problem in an Egyptian way! We found a long tree branch, attached the brick load to the middle, and two people took the ends of the pole. This lessened our load and made the trek easier!!!
On the island, I first gave a tour. Next, Ashley and Jordan pained the Hathor Path sign. Its GORGEOUS! Then, we painted red dots on Poison Ivy vines, so we know not to touch them, and green dots on the Cedar trees. After that, we all painted seats all over the island. All the seats are are rocks that you can sit on that are painted. Pretty simple. While the seats were drying, the girls decided they wanted a toilet on the island. We scout out a suitable place and got to work. We got halfway through when we decided that we were all very tired. After the seats were glossed, painted and dried, we moved them to all over the Island. By this point,we were exhausted. Lastly, we moved all of our stuff to higher ground to protect it from when the water level rises.
We found out on this trip that deer visit our island often. They walk around, and cause trouble. Yes, they were the cause in knocking down our Egypt Island monument. Also,we decided that Trey, the criminal, should clean up our littered island. That was a very fun and successful trip.
