After looking at the weather forecast we realized that it was going to be an unusually cloudy day today. What a great time to go to Jordan Lake and introduce Katie to “lake life”. So, after packing a lunch and taking some supplies, off we went. We stopped off at Harris Teeter for some potato salad and bug spray (only one to eat…I’ll let you decide which), then we were on our way. Oh, and Katie wanted some chocolate so I picked up a package of M&M’s.
Katie loved the lake. At first she roamed up and down the shore but soon she was in the water splashing about. I took along a number of beach toys but Katie really wasn’t interested in playing with them much. My wife introduced Katie to swimming life by having Katie lie down while she dragged her through the water (see photo to the right). Katie loved it. How do I know? She cried when we were taking her home. We had to console her by saying that we would be back again.
I’m actually glad we left the beach when we did. I was starting to get burned. I had a headache and was rather “listless” for the rest of the day…perhaps I got a bit of a heat stroke? Anyway, my wife is ordering a beach umbrella from Amazon. That will help to keep the sun off of us next time.
