We enjoyed a long weekend at home here at the Vickery household, which was very nice and a bit overdue. Why does life have to be so busy???????? On Monday we decided to go to Jordan Lake to swim for a nice family outing. We had never been to Jordan Lake before (except driving through) and had no idea where we were going or what to expect. Or when we were going to go in the day.
The lack of planning for this outing was very unlike Morgan (who is a hyper planner when it comes to outdoor activities) or me (who is a hyper planner all the time). We printed out a map, filled up a couple of water bottles, tossed a backpack full of clothes for swimming or maybe hiking and the baby and the dog in the car and headed over.
Raymond LOVED the trip. We say on the beach and had no plan to force him into the water. He sat and watched it for a while and played in the sand before standing and walking over to the edge of the water and inching himself in. There was a bit of surf and I kept worrying that the waves would deter him but they didn’t! He embraced every minute of it!
Next time we’ll be better prepared with a life jacket, water toys, sand buckets etc … for honestly we had no idea what to expect from the location or from Raymond – no expectations turned out to be LOVELY and full of surprises. Happy Memorial Day Lake Trip to US!
And now I'm off to enroll him in swimming lessons.
