Draining the Lake

Our community is "drawing down" our lake so that we can remove a couple sand/gravel bars and get rid of a lot of weeds that are threatening to overtake the lake. It was a big community event today...lots of exitement!
Yes, that's Fred standing on the dam in the white Chicago Bears jersey!

Get ready...


Here it comes!




Just a pretty shot...


Neighborhood kids coming to watch...




Even the local geese came to watch...


I have no idea how long it will take to drain the lake, but it's fun to watch the process. I'm hoping it will refill quickly once we're done with this project.
