Okay well we found out on Friday, September 4th at 11am that we could go ahead and just take our vacation a few weeks early because of James' shoulder. So we were scrambling to get our stuff together and got out of town around 1:30pm. Well we didn't forget much, but we did forget my swimsuit. Let me tell you early September is not the most ideal time to be able to find ANY swimsuits, but being pregnant REALLY didn't help. In the long run though I really didn't need a swimsuit, the water was too low. Grandpa came with us and took pictures from the beach. I'd say we were at least 50 feet away from him.
The kids did have fun though. It wasn't too much for Lizzie, and Clayton loved being able to lean over and pick up rocks to throw. And then when he discovered the sand he was really in heaven (of course he tried to eat it). James and I were very disappointed in the water level. We were really excited to take the kids swimming when it was still pretty warm. James decided to experiment and walk out as far as he could to see how deep it got. Well he got out pass the boat marker and it still wasn't over his waist. Lizzie couldn't even see him anymore. James is guessing he went out 1/4 of a mile. Lizzie even walked out halfway to find him. There were a few other people that came to the beach while she was walking out to him. I'm sure they were wondering why we were letting our little girl walk out that far into the lake... but then they got in the water too. The kids still had a blast, and that's what we were hoping for. Oh and just a fun fact Clayton is STILL wearing his 6 to 12 month bathing suit from last year. My little peanut.
