Harveston Lake

Well another fun beach day was cancelled due to our unusually cool summer, but it gave us a great opportunity to explore a pretty spot in our own backyard. Wendy suggested packing lunches, renting paddleboats and riding scooters around the lake. Unfortunately, the paddle boats were closed, but the kids didn't seem to care much.

They had a fun time spotting turtles, fish and ducks in the lake. We found a nice shade spot for a picnic and Wendy and I even had time to chat while the kids rode their scooters along the path.

There were lots of trees to climb and a fun playground, although the kids informed us "it was for babies".

Normally in July it is too hot to do something like this in town, but this hasn't been a normal July. Although, it was hot enough for a quick ice cream stop at Rite Aid before heading home. Thanks for the fun idea Wendy!
