Going to “the lake” is different for all the Simoneaus.  I went for the first time about 8 months ago with work.  Today, we took the whole family with another family we recently met.   It was definitely an experience.

The kids did great.  Timothy and Bethany both went tubing with Luke (our friend’s kid who is a few years older).  I tried it a little while later, and got tipped a few times–which really wore me out!  I couldn’t believe how out of breath I was.  I suddently had flashes to the 2.5 miles that contestants swim in the Iron Man competition. *shudder*

After that we went to Little Devil’s Cove — which is the slightly more family friendly version of Devil’s Cove and let everyone swim.  As Timothy was getting ready to jump in, the intertube blew over and knocked him in.  He floated right up (he had his life jacket on) and then wanted to climb right back in.  We had a water splash fight, which was great too–kindof a bonding ritual, I think.  Bethany also floated around in the water and had a GREAT time.    It was awesome.

After that it was about time to come home, and we were ready, but man, was it fun.  The kids both took long naps.  We had a lazy day for the rest of it–I think I’ll be sticking to the pool for a few weeks… that wore me out.

Time to head to sleep… my body is commanding me to!
