Back to vacation stories...
I had no idea our trip to New York would involve so much water. We enjoyed surprisingly warm swimming pools at each of the hotels we stayed in, toured Marine Land and saw Niagara Falls. Once we reached Rochester, we spent an afternoon at a local pool, and later in the week headed to Cayuga Lake, part of the Finger Lakes region, where Jennie's family has a cottage.
The cottage (here in the midwest, we'd say cabin) is stocked with all sorts of fun toys. The newest addition, which apparently was just added before we arrived, is an absolutely huge floating... thing. It's anchored down so it doesn't float away. The center area is like a trampoline, and it has a slide and other attachments for the kids to climb on.
Also in the water, a highly mature adult and floating globs of seaweed. You can probably guess what turned out to be more entertaining. Meet the seaweed monster:
The raft became the staging area for the kids who gleefully gathered what had been thrown at them, and lobbed it right back.
Even Sydney got in on the action.
Jeff did such a good job making it a game that the kids forgot that normally when they feel seaweed they just say "ewwww." Now they look at it and think "ammo!"
