Lake Day

We live near a beautiful lake that the kids just love to go to. We discovered a park at the lake that is perfect. It has a section of the lake that is shallow enough for the kids to play, they provide life jackets (which is just nice), and it has a playground as well. We just discovered this area a few weeks ago, and have gone several times since.
Colin is obsessed with learning to swim now. I am so glad, he was so timid before. So, we go to the lake so he can practice. I need to get him into lessons soon.


Such a pretty area




A few weekends ago, Will and I went to a friend's house to shoot their bows. Will was a natural and did very well. Pulling back a 70lb bow for the first time is not easy. I was very impressed. I did a 50lb bow. I was surprised I was able to shoot it. I did not think I would be able to pull it back. My friend said it took her a few weeks to move up to that weight. So I was excited. I did have trouble with her view. I guess I am left-eye dominate, which I think makes it harder being right-handed. So, it was really uncomfortable trying to get situated to aim. I may have to work on using my right eye. We are thinking we would like to buy some bows. It would be a fun hobby.


First time with a bow
While Will was at work, I took the kids to the lake again. We had so much fun. Meli is my little water baby. She was pretending to be a mermaid.
