We got back from the lake home on Saturday night with enough time to unpack, feed the kids a somewhat healthy dinner (after their diet of mostly freezies on vacation...ha!),and get them to bed EARLY.
Sunday morning Jonas went to help our church set up for the annual Praise in the Park. The only problem was that it was scheduled to be about 100+ degrees that day. Um, no. Count me out. Sorry, church! LOVE you guys to death, but I also don't want to die myself... ;) So, Jonas was our token helper from the Schaefer family, then he as home by 11:00 or so and we planned a last "family vacation day" before he had to go back to work on Monday. We tried to go to the Como Pool after lunch, but it was INSANELY busy. I don't know why we even wanted to do that, frankly. The kids have so much more fun in a gradual incline lake than they do in a crowded pool. (Uncle Dan's pool was the big exception to that rule...) SO, we left that line and went to a lake--crazy idea, right? Free, beautiful, fun? Yes please. :)
Actually, I'm getting this all out of order. After lunch we went to the Children's Museum because it has AC, obviously. We stayed for about 2 hours, and the kids had a great time--it wasn't crowded at all! So odd for a very hot Sunday afternoon. The four videos below are from the CM.
I didn't take any video or pictures at the lake because I thought we were going to the public pool, and I don't trust that rabble with my personal belongings... ;) ...so I didn't bring them along, and then when we switch to the lake I was a bit bummed out. Layla, of course, was in her personal form of heaven: water. :)
