What an adventure. And - oh wow! That water is gorgeous. What a surreal colour. It must be special going on vacation from your homestead to your families! My son and I recently visited my dad on his farm. He's still too young to understand but did he enjoy the beach? And time with his gramps and uncle! Happy memories. Which you and your kiddos also made. Great post
Thank you @buckaroo! I couldn't believe the color of that lake either. It reminded me of Lake Diablo in WA but Diablo was more turquoise-y. I love traveling away because it makes home seem all the nicer when I get back :) The kids really do remember the fun they have there, too. They still talk about the trip we made out there when they were 2!
