Beach Two

This summer, our favorite swimming hole is less than satisfactory due to reconstruction at the lake. That will be no problem because our cousins have introduced us to Beach II which is a blast!
The main draw is this double-sided dock which the kids go to the end of and jump off into deep water. They also spend quite a bit of time just hanging out on the dock. Lily, the dog, is "Queen of the Dock" and likes to chase the kids right off the end of it which is a lot more fun than it sounds!
There is plenty of nice sand to lay out on. We put life preservers on the young kids because it does get deep but they were very content to play at the edge of the water.
You can see all of our big kids swimming after jumping in.
The lake is very pretty to look at despite its significantly lower level this summer due to construction at its end. I am glad that we will be able to enjoy it in this new way.

Dear Lord Jesus, Please protect all those in and around the water this summer as we relax and enjoy your beautiful creation. Thank you for our Guardian Angels and help us to hear the whisperings of their guidance. We pray that You keep us all safe, if it be Thy Holy Will.  Amen.
