This summer we had the opportunity to spend some time together with a day full of swimming and fun. We packed a picnic lunch and dinner (as we stayed all day for the laser light show to be shown in another post) and headed to Lake Roosevelt behind the Coulee Dam. We have enjoyed this spot for camping in years past. It was the plan to camp for the night/weekend, but during the move, some of the camping gear was misplaced. We have located it all now and plan on a camping trip next summer. LOL. For this summer, we just had fun swimming and enjoying the day.
Before leaving, we purchased just a small inflatable row boat. Daddy enjoyed taking all of the kids for rides around the swim area. It was quite a workout really.
The kids also tried their hand at rowing themselves around. Unfortunately, circles was about the only thing they accomplished. They had fun trying though.
There is also a dock in the swim area that the kids enjoyed jumping off of. The water level was low, so on one end it was deep enough to jump off, but on the other end, it was sitting on the ground.
This made it fun to crawl under and Daniel and Abby had fun chasing Daddy around under the dock.
Noah was able to relax in the sand a bit. He got worn out by all the swimming and jumping.
After swimming for a bit, we had some lunch and relaxed a bit before going back in for more swimming and boating. Jameson really does love his big brother Tyler. They have so much fun together.
Here they both are with their hats on backwards of course.
Just a fun pose of 3 of them enjoying the day.
Overall, it was a fun day. We had fun swimming, boating, and splashing in the water. There was lots of building in the sand and designing turtles and waterways and the such. It is nice when we can spend the day enjoying the beautiful things the Lord has blessed us with. Cant wait until next year's trip.
