Jamie picked us up in the boat at
the Slack’s dock this morning at 9 am. CC had our spot staked out. We spent the
rest of the day lounging in the shallows, swimming in the deep, and eating.
Jamie brought mini-cheeseburgers (sliders) and chicken tenders from Golden
Corral, and grilled hot dogs on the boat.
We had watermelon and tortilla chips and apples to boot. Playing makes
one hungry.
Favorite activities
Karl: Paddling in the tube using
a shovel as an oar
Katie: Swimming across the
channel back and forth
Lindsay: Casting the net for
minnows
Bradley: Sinking in the muddy
sand
Billy: Playing “Dog” with Karl
and Katie
Billy: Hey, Mom! I’m going in the deep end, OK?
Billy’s head was all I
saw of him for most of the day. He stubbornly remains over-confident in the
water and basically refuses to get out. I did finally convince him to tell me
when he was going in the water, which he did once he was in. Pick your battles.
He even ate his slider out in the lagoon, which he consistently called the ‘pool’.
Me: How’s that cheeseburger?
Billy: It’s soggy and gross.
Me: Do you think that next time you should eat it
on the shore?
Billy: No.
Me: Want me to come get it?
Billy: Yes.
We are blessed beyond
measure! The evening was spent readying
everyone for the first day of camp tomorrow.
