Memories by the Lake

O.K. It's time to be kind of honest. We planned our whole camping trip around the idea of this lovely lake and river experience. After we'd finally gotten everything set up in our campsite and took the lovely stroll down to the "lakeside" we were a bit jolted when the TINY beach looked like this.

Unbelievable! I think if it had been just Greg and I we'd have packed it up and headed back home. But somehow, with two excited boys, we just knew we had to make the most of it. Thankfully the water beyond the beach was shallow and warm. And, for better or for worse, was clear enough we could see lots of little schools of fish swimming all around in it. What started out as a disappointment turned into a magical moment when we started seeing it through the eyes of our boys. (See post above for "magical" lake pictures.)
