Santa Fe Lake

Today was a great outing for our weekly "Field Trip". I stepped COMPLETELY out of my box and went along with the gang to Santa Fe Lake to play at the beach. Now folks, I hate to admit it, but I'm not a lake girl. I do enjoy going out on a boat and water skiing or tubing, but let's get real...you jump in don't touch the bottom and just DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! Now the lake BEACH is a different story, mud, slim, yucky water...I was really thinking maybe we should just pass. BUT, I'm glad we didn't!

There was a VERY nice beach area equipped with a very LARGE tree for shade. I sat on my beach blanket and watched Spanky "LIKE A HAWK" but really enjoyed the day! Christy tells me that there is nice sand about six feet out into the water...you know, this time I took her word for it...but might venture out next time! :)

Spanky had a slight meltdown at first when he tripped and got his swim pants wet. I'm like, HELLO! It's just like a big dirty pool! Finally we convinced him that all was well and it was okay to get his pants wet. From then on he was great! He hunted for minnows, made "birthday cake" with the sand and played in the water with the floaties. PRAISE the LORD for Valen. He played with Spanky a lot and Spanky just LOVES Valen! What a nice young man.

So...all in all it was a great time at the lake. OH...and the "Johnny on the Spot" was actually kind of nice...even smelled of sanitizer! Of course I was a frequent visitor so I was very thankful for this!
