We went to the Hickory Grove Park where is 30 min away from Ames from BBQ. We had 2 cars and we both got lost by missing the same intersection. Of course, we finally got to the place but it took us much longer time.
I had been to the park before (basically every year) for camping. It seemed to be a better place than I would expect. Easily we found the beach. I didn't swim as I had my contacts on. Still, it's nice to play inside the water. We rented a canoe ($ 9 for an hour) and a paddle boat and wandering around the lake. Some of us played frisbee but I am just not keen at it so I did the cooking work. It was fun.
We had tonnes of food. After we're done, we still had half of them.. People even tried to have another BBQ at the next day. But there was thunderstorm and this plan couldn't come true.

Scary Thunderstorm
We went fishing after 5pm.
As usual, after getting some baits from the store, I drove to the dam. Well, when I made a big turn and the bucket holding water and baits fell down. Fish and water were on the floor... Oops..
It's so lucky that I got a fish at the my first trial today and it's big, compared to those I fished before. After we all successfully got some fish, 'somebody' dropped his cap into the stream. After several attempts, he fished back his hat. Thunderstorm which I thought was far away finally came to our place. I felt like I was close to a tornado... The wind was so strong that it blew everything away.. Sand hit my face so strongly.. With no choice, we had to head back.

Friday Again
This was a very quiet Friday. Only 3 showed up at work at the morning including me working on my 'research'. Since our boss is gone, people look less motivated, especially me but I usually show up for nothing.
We have 6 graduate students here at noon time. But it seems like some came back just for lunch. At the afternoon, one was gone for dog show at 1, 1 left at 2 for preparing a weekend trip, 1 left at 3 to talk with his wife, the last one left at 330 quietly... Don't think that there is still one staying with me. He disappeared after the phone call. Can you believe that? This is 332 pm at the office. No body is here.
