Lucky Peak Reservoir

On Friday Scott took off work a little early and we all headed up for some sun and sand at Lucky Peak Reservoir. The kids love this place, and I always think to myself that we really ought to make it up there more than just once a year. We picked up some pizza on our way there and had dinner and played for several hours. The kids loved it.

The first thing Nate did was walk out into the water and trip face first into the water. He was not happy.




He figured out after that to stay in really shallow water. He had so much fun splashing in the water and playing in the sand.












Aaron loved pretending to swim and dive. He would run from the beach out into the water and yell "CANNON BALL!" and then jump up and sit down in the water. He'd also "swim" in the shallow water by sticking his legs out behind him and walking on his hands. He's really into posing for pictures these days. I'd tell him to smile and he would instantly strike a pose.










The older three kids loved that they had permission to go pretty much anywhere. The water is such a gradual incline, that it never gets too deep too fast (plus they all know how to swim). They loved exploring all over in the water.














Towards the end, Sara found a frog and all the kids were so excited about it (and then so upset when we told them we couldn't take it home with us).




I hate that the summer is already to coming to an end--it really has just flown by. I'm not ready for the days to start getting shorter and the warm weather to come to an end. It was wonderful to get out and enjoy one more big summer outing.
