The Lake

We had some donuts for breakfast and notice they are already in their swimsuits. Right when they woke up they immediately asked when they could go in the lake. :)

We had them eat first and put sunscreen on, then we got in the lake around 9am.

We got life jackets and goggles and they had such fun splashing around.

A bit more serious here.

Relaxing on the beach and playing in the sand.

Pure joy!

Here's a sequence of pictures that Daniel took of Abigail running through the water to the beach. Mixed in the sand in the lake was this clay type stuff that stuck together really well and was fun to build with.

Abby - our little fish!

We were working on the backstroke a little bit.

There was a bit of activity on the lake, too. We saw some boats with tubers(?), jet skis, fishing boats, and more.

Watching some wave runners.

Serious swimmer

It took Isaac a little bit to get comfortable in the water. The waves were a new experience, but he soon figured it out! :) You can see how far away from me he is in this picture.

Joanna started to get a bit tired of being in the water all day long and spent some time relaxing in a chair watching everyone splash around.

Tired girl!

We didn't leave the lake until about 3:00pm or so. We did stop for a lunch break and told them they needed to rest for 1/2 an hour or so during the hottest part of the afternoon. It was seriously like 101 degrees or something. Not really recommended camping weather! We reapplied the sunscreen, but still got some sunburn. Ow!

We're looking forward to our next camping experience, this time with Hannah along. Maybe in September.....
