The day started off cloudy but quite warm. I got in an hours walk with one of the dogs and then we got ready to go to the lake. We decided to take Freeze to the lake since he loves to swim and likely nobody else would be on the beach with the clouds. That was the case indeed and we had a fun couple hours swimming with Freeze. The day seemed to be clearing and we needed lunch so we brought Freeze home, had something to eat and then headed back to the lake. The sun came out and we all had a nice time swimming and playing. A couple other families were at the lake too. Tristan was able to talk to a big kid who'd just gotten his cast off after a skateboarding injury, they had fun comparing "battle scars and tales". One family at the lake had 6 kids and brought their dog(the lake is supposedly no dog in the summer season but lots of people take the chance and nobody ever seems to mind), it was fun to chat with them and the kids played together some. There were a bunch of new signs at the lake which gave everyone a good laugh such as no diving (huh, kids spend half their time diving), no extended under water swimming....lots of strange stuff. I wonder if someones child was hurt last year and they tried to sue the town or something, pretty bad when we need rules to compensate for a few people's lack of common sense. More likely his might be due to the new-ish parks and rec director in town who seems to be over zealous about most things. The signs gave everyone a laugh anyway, there were about 4 sets of different ones all over the place.
Colin checks out the latest "Boys Life" scouting magazine before we head to the beach.
We found a solution so that Tristan can play in the sand without getting any in his cast.
Freeze had a grand time swimming with us.

That's a bunch of signs. Will they have people out to enforce the new rules?
Good grief...
Danger! Caution! Hidden Hazard! All on one sign? That does appear to be a tad bit overboard. :)
