We had a great time at Scales Lake. We packed up and headed up there early. The beach was beautiful around the lake. The kids found the water warm and inviting especially since the it's been so hot. The top of the water was bathtub warm. This is a VERY shallow lake and teachers always stand at the limit so children are very very safe.
Several of the kids found they could swim better in the lake than at the pool. I spent a lot of time with Isaac, who found he had a lot more water power at the lake. He could go longer and do more in the natural water. I told him it was time he went off the board at the pool, and I think the wheels are turning.
Savannah was thrilled and solitary as she discovered and re-discovered the water and found she could propel herself pretty much at will.
Jayce was thrilled to go as deep as he could - no fear on his part!
It was interesting to watch the kids this first time at the lake. Some were bound to play with each other, and some kids just wanted to go off by themselves to see what they could see.
We had a nice lunch, and the kids ate everything. We went back to the lake after lunch and by about 2:00 the kids were done. We left the park with a brief stop at the little zoo, and the children enjoyed visiting with the goats and the ducks.
Once on the way home, we had five sleepers within seconds of our departure.
At home the children feasted on cantaloupe, juice pops, whole grain chocolate chip cookies and water. All in all it was a great day.
