It sounds more exotic and distant than it really is. This is the lake that was pretty much across the street from where we were staying. We took an hour on Thursday afternoon to go and see it. Alec was less than enthused, but changed his tune markedly upon seeing all the rocks on the beach that he could throw into the water.
The kids were fascinated by finding spiders under the big rocks, then with target practice at a piece of driftwood on a rock out in the water. It was fun to see them so excited about their experience at the beach. It was a beautiful day, but there was a brisk wind along the shore. The evening was spent wrapping up the packing in preparation for our 'early' 10am departure. It's been a good time here, we hate to go. But we look forward to having dinner with Gena's cousin Emily, in Boston on Saturday night.
I know my kids would have been all over the lake and throwing rocks and stuff! Sounds like a fun time! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was great - particularly as (hopefully) a learning moment for Alec about how some things are fun, even if we don't think they will be!
