Beach

Today we went to "the lake." I put that in quotes because it is really a man made body of water that is chlorinated and closely resembles a small lake. In any case, it is a sandy beach with clean water and lifeguards. It is perfect for little kids.

The weather has been brutal lately - tons of rain and incredibly buggy outside. Today was the first  nice day in a while and we decided to take advantage of it. It wasn't supposed to be super hot, but we weren't being picky at this point. Unfortunately, the wind was strong enough that it was pretty tough for the adults to get into the water. The kids, on the other hand, loved it and wouldn't get out of the water even though their lips were blue and their teeth were chattering.

Eventually I lured Caroline out of the water with the promise of juice, Nana, and S'mores Goldfish (a mix of graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow goldfish). 

I only like the marshmallow ones.

We then happily played in the sand until it was time for lunch and then home. Although chilly at times, it was a great visit and I think we might go back tomorrow!
