We had a wonderful time at Scales Lake. I've never been there, and I can truly say I've missed a lot. It's not coast of Ireland, and it's not the South of France, but it is one heck of a nice lake in Southwestern Indiana. The kids were thrilled.They got to play in the sand and swim and go on the big cascading slide made for children who can swim. It was, however, freezing, but the water was warm.
We stopped by the nursing home and sang for a couple of minutes, and the children were w
onderful with the elderly. Austin was especially cute.We swam in the morning and played on the beach, and then we broke for lunch about 12:30 and then back to the water about an hour later.
A whole group of kids spent
hours making a sand castle.The big boys had a delightful time and voted that we need to return once a week, which is doable for us if it is OK with our bus driver. We were so proud of Emily who practiced going under the water.
When all was finished at the lake, we stopped to visit at the petting zoo. The kids had such fun. Alexis was nibble by a duck, Trevor was snapped at by a turkey, Bill was bitte
n by a chicken and they all laughed because they were having such a good time.It's nice to take a group of children out for a whole day and not have one child reprimanded the whole day. Lunch was eate
n peacefully, and nobody fought the whole day. It was splendid. Congrats to our beautiful group.
