At the base of the mountain where we spent our vacation is an extremely shallow lake. The water wasn't particularly warm, but the weather was warm enough that it still felt pretty good. Even better, the resort offered kayaks, paddle boats and other water vessels, which we could borrow free of charge.
Even better, in Sydney's mind, there were also sand buckets and shovels she could use to her castle-loving heart's content.
Did I mention what an absolutely glorious day it was to spend at the beach?
When she finished playing in the sand and being chauffeured around in a kayak, Sydney went back to swimming (translation: splashing in the water).
With our kids busy in the water, Jeff was able to bond a bit with nephew Jimmy.
My one regret is that I never got a chance to paddle board. Ben did, though:
Meanwhile, the other kids discovered the joy of having a tiki bar on the beach. For smoothies, of course.
And then, just when it seemed everyone was finally tired of swimming and playing in the water, someone looked over and noticed the mini golf course just across the sidewalk from where we sat.
What form! It's what happens when hockey players attempt to golf:
My proudest achievement of the day: getting a picture with all five kids looking at the camera with their eyes open.
