Smokey's Day at the Lake-Abby May
For Smokey and I's big adventure, we took a walk from my apartment over to the campus lake to do some homework and enjoy the warm weather. Smokey thought the walk was a little long, so he was excited when we finally go to the lake!
We began our day at the lake by taking a boat ride! Smokey choose the green paddle boat, since thats his favorite color. Next we took a stroll around the lake the loop with my friend Emily. Smokey was pretty tired after the long walk, So we went back to the boat dock and worked on some homework and soak up the sun.
Smokey loved watching the ducks swim on the lake! He really wanted to chase them, but the water was pretty cold! To distract him from chasing the ducks, we took another small walk around. We found a memorial stone for the people killed in the apartment fires, memorial stones for prior athletes and other famous members and or founders of the college. I explained to Smokey that the lake and campus loop are a big attraction to our SIU campus. Its a recreational place created for students to enjoy nature and step away from their studies.
Finally, we found a cool statue in front of the dock at the lake. Smokey loved this statue! He said it was a perfect little house for him and wish he could stay longer! However, we had to leave, i told him he had other friends that needed to take him on adventures!
