We tried to meet up for a spontaneous swim with our Camp Wild friends at the Bella Vista pool today. It’s been so long since any of us have had any in person interaction with friends, that this outing for metfield pool felt like a dream vacation. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we learned the pool had hit their “social distancing capacity of 60 people” after half of our friends made it in. Kingsdale pool was also at capacity, and the “beach” at lake avalon would only let in 10 people.
I called Kasey and asked if we could take over her lake. She’s amazing and generously said yes, so we did, and the kids and I (plus some Shaws) met some of the Glovers, Neighbors, and Gulbransens for an afternoon on the lake. Tia brought these amazing floats that connect together and it was the most relaxed I have ever felt in a lake, ever ever ever.
Soren knocked on Kasey’s window and told her to take a break and come join us for a float. Can’t say no to that! I love these wonderful, faithful, encouraging. strong, fun women so much! They are so funny and smart and it gave me life to talk and laugh and play together. I came home with a filled cup.
The kids also LOVED this afternoon. (See ultra relaxed Sully below)
The teens all took off on SUPs and kayaks and ended up at the dam for awhile. The boys, tweens and kids all swam and played off the dock and on kayaks. Sloane sat in the raft with me and played with a dollar store squirt gun. Later, the moms got out and the teens/girls took over the connected circle of rafts.
Today had summer magic.
Happy Birthday, Katie!
Thank you, Kasey! I think a monthly lake play tradition was born, today!
