The next day (July 20th)

First day on the lake! Beautiful first day. Plenty of time for swimming, catching up with the lake neighbors and more swimming.

The kids weren't totally into the lake groove yet and were tired from the late night the night before so we went up and down a lot between the cabin and the lake and instituted a mandatory rest time after lunch. We made it sort of a mantra for the trip - "we have to siesta so later we can fiesta!" The kids kind of bought it and at least one of them slept every day, some days both.
