Three on Thursday, Week 20: Fun at the Lake

When warm weather hits, Soren starts asking to head down to our small neighborhood lake. This year was no exception. When it warmed up last weekend, he made a plan, packed our lunches and convinced me to take our small raft down to the lake.

Yeah, about that raft. All went well dusting it off and pulling it out of the attic. All went well inflating it and getting it to the lake. And all went well as we pushed off from the shore. And then things went no so well.

Hissssssss.

That is the sound of the gushing leak from the small puncture in the back of the raft. So, back to shore to a picnic on the dock.

That is our sad little yellow raft in the background below:



As luck would have it though, another neighborhood family was also enjoying the day on the lake. And they had the best toys!



And they shared!



And so, just as we'd hoped, we had a lovely afternoon on the local lake.



This year our goal is to get out there more. Be sure to give us a call on the next hot day and we can head down for a picnic and some lake fun! We'll certainly have our raft patched by then, and our canoe parked at the lakeside.
