We went to the lake, not once, but twice. When Grandpa asked Milayla and Atticus what they would like to do for the last day that Grandma and Grandpa were here the answer was unanimous that they wanted to head to the lake again. And the second time around Grandpa and Grandma had given them some noodles to take with them. They were in swimming heaven. I must not have applied enough sunscreen to myself though as I managed to walk away with a pretty nasty burn (even Jason got a bit which is pretty unheard of!) but the kids were covered well enough - thankfully! And no burns for them or grandma and grandpa for that matter.
There are a lot of lake pictures. I just can't narrow them down further. The kids loved it so much. Between building sand castles, making Atticus into a merman (which he was a really great spot about when I suggested I make him into one), splashing in the water, going for a paddle boat ride with grandma and grandpa, playing at the cool playground or going on the zipline (which all three kids did!), the kids were in summer days heaven. The random water fight/splashes seemed to give the kids a good laugh as well. After I got Jason with a bucket of water pretty spectacularly, a little boy nearby walked up to Jason to offer him a BIG bucket to repay the favour to me. That definitely got a lot of giggles and laughter.
And I am glad I snapped that photo of my parents in the paddle boat with the kids. The water wasn't quite up to grandma and grandpa's warmth standards so they supervised the sand castle building and my mom took lots and lots of pictures. Which they seemed to enjoy just fine, but that also meant they weren't in very many pictures which is unfortunate. So I think that paddle boat picture is going to be a pretty precious photo!
