We were going to look around the park and the lake today, but it rained most of the day so we stayed in.
We soon had our own private lake in front of Lily!!! Late in the evening I started to watch the preparations for the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry & Meghan Markle, and then went to bed earlier than usual so I could get up at 3.30am to watch it live.

My alarm went off earlier than I would have liked, but I "jumped" out of bed, ha!!ha!! Got a large mug of coffee, and settled down in Bryan's recliner to watch the wedding. It was fabulous, darling!! Love the way the Brits do these ceremonials. Of course, the castles/chapels, carriages, and troops all help with the occasion. The sun was also shining brightly. Bryan didn't get his recliner back for a few hours. Of course he was in bed for most of those. Thank goodness we managed to get our satellite signal, wouldn't have wanted to miss that!! I especially liked the Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry, who brought some life to the ceremony, although I do think his sermon was a tad too long and he risked losing everyones attention. Fortunately I think he realized that and stopped just in time!!! I loved watching everyones expressions during it as well!!!!
Later in the day we went for a drive around the Dam West Recreation Area. There was a fishing competition this weekend, which is possibly the reason that the campground is full. I think the rain yesterday put a bit of a damper on it though.
We were not as impressed with this recreation area as our previous ones on this trip. You can't see them, but there were dead fish floating in the water in the picture below.
There were lots of fisherman on both sides of the red barrier. We both said we wouldn't be wanting to catch any fish there, after seeing the dead fish on this side of that barrier.
