A Day at Okeeheelee Park

Last Saturday I spent the day at Okeeheelee Park, a local park where Daddy-dog's work was hosting their employee picnic. It was such a lovely day so while Daddy-dog readied the grill, Ma and I took a walk along one of the lakes.

Oz at water skiing course at Okeeheelee Park in Palm Beach County,Florida

This lake is set up for water skiing. There are five nationally-recognized competitive water ski courses in the park that can accommodate regular, wake board and kneeboard skiing. Can you see the jump ramp out in the lake? Hopefully, there aren't any alligators in there!

"A lake is the landscapes most beautiful and expressive feature. 
It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder 
measures the depth of his own nature." 
-- Henry David Thoreau

    There seem to be alligators in every body of water in Florida. As long as they don't come ashore and bother you, those water skiiers had better watch out for them!

    What fun that must have been. Hope everyone also looked out for the cotton-mouths often found in Florida lakes.

    Looks like a great place for a picnic and some water skiing. My mom loves to water ski but rarely gets the chance.

    We think just-where-the-skiers-land off the ramp might be an ideal Gator hangout....just sayin'.

    It must be so nice to walk around the lake, Ozzie. And then maybe catch some tidbits from the grill:)

    That is so cool! I remember always wanting to see the Cypress Gardens water skiers. We had a competitive ski tournament here for several years. I love watching water sports.

    Ring Ding Ding Dong Hello Oz ~ So Daddy-dog was in charge of the grilling. Did he do a great job, did he grill you up something special? Sounds like he had to work the company picnic.
    Thanks for being a friend
