This past Saturday we drove out to our freinds', the Huffs, and went to Grapevine Lake with them. It is always great to see them--just really good people.
The swimming area was small but not crowded. We enjoyed watching boats and people on paddle boards go by. The kids did great with their arm floaties--which we call water wings.
We applied sunscreen twice but still ended up with uneven minor burn spots wherever we missed or weren't liberal enough. Today marks the 23rd day in a row with heat in the triple digits so we hope to go out again this summer.
The highlights of the lake trip, besides seeing the Huffs, was with only 2 feet visibility in the water, Rhys still thought it was great way to quench his thirst. Neal got nibbled on twice by fish, Keri attempted to do the butterfly after 2 decades void of competitive swimming, and Sophie learned that she has the ability to pee in the lake and was not afraid to announce it loudly to all in ear shot. She actually told us, "I'm going to go potty in the lake." and a fellow lake goer not in our group said, "Oh wait, let me pass by first." Good times!
