The weather was perfect. On Saturday, I took the kids to another of the local recreation areas, this one is called Green Lakes and it's a little south and east of us (but still only about half an hour away). The water is indeed a bit green looking. We stayed for over 3 hours, and then we only left because a thunder storm was coming and the life guards made us get out (I was relieved because I was getting tired and the kids were not!) Caleb has always loved swimming and Alana has become a little fish as well - she was laying down in the water and splashing around (it starts out very shallow and gets deep very gradually). I'm including a couple of pictures (I actually remembered the camera this time!) Then on Sunday, I took Caleb back to Oneida Shores (which is less than 20 minutes from our house). Larry stayed home with Alana, who was supposed to take a nap, but guess who was the only one who fell asleep?! Caleb and I agreed that we like Oneida Shores better than Green Lakes - it's closer and the water is warmer (and it's cheaper, though Caleb doesn't really appreciate the advantage of that). Caleb suggested we take Matthew there when he comes to visit (Larry is picking Matt up on Tuesday). It was great to hang out with Caleb and be able to focus on just him, and I feel like he really needed that. Plus it's a little nerve-racking to try to watch two kids (at such different ages) when they're both playing in the water.
Tonight we went to a Skychiefs game - that's the local minor league baseball team. It was a gorgeous night - not hot and not raining. We got free tickets from someone Larry knows, so we went ahead and gorged ourselves on over-priced junk food (hotdogs, french fries, nachos, cotton candy) and of course peanuts - Larry says it's not a baseball game without them.
