The "Beach"

This last week Michael walked to work in 37 degree weather. Yeah, fall starts a little early in Idaho. So realizing that summer is quickly ending, we decided we better get out to Rigby Lake before it's too late. We made the mistake of telling Jessica it was like a beach. She's constantly begging for us to move back to California where she can go to the beach everyday, so you can imagine her delight when she learned there was a "beach" in Idaho.

The kids had a great time and our little stunt-devil Jessica had a blast on the slide out in the lake. In fact, the first time she and Michael swam out there, she went down all by herself. Luckily she had floaties on her arms, but it scared Michael since he planned on going down with her the first time. Now to get her to stop plugging her nose...

This was how they got back and forth between the beach and the slide. Chandler had a great time too.

The water was cold, but we'll have to go back a couple more times before we're stuck in the house all winter.

Jessica's had a fun time playing dress-up since her birthday. Here are a couple of her shots.
