Memorial Day Picnic

Our community has a Memorial Day picnic every year to celebrate the summer season. The event marks the opening of the swimming area. The lifeguards go on duty. The policemen begin to patrol. Summer fun begins.
We had a classic summer meal with our neighbors of fried chicken, salad, green beans, scalloped potatoes, and cookies. We ate on the porch overlooking the lake. We watched all the kids swimming after the picnic. We didn't know the kids would be swimming, so Bethany just waded in the water.

The lake has two diving boards and two slides. There are several platforms floating on the lake to swim out to and rest I suppose. The swimming area is marked off with ropes. There are benches for sitting while you observe your little ones splashing around in the water.


Bethany discovered that one of her classmates lives at the lake too. She played with Cayden for awhile in the water. He had his swim trunks on, so he was more interested in jumping off the diving board. Summer break is almost here too. Let the lake lounging begin!
