It was very hot during the month of July so we started spending time at Parker's - which is Stacey and Andrew's other property. It has a great beach thanks to Barry and Sandy and the water was warm enough for the kids not to be chilly. Remember, they are used to Abu Dhabi's bath water temperature beaches. We brought over lots of floatys for everyone. Once you got in the water, it was beautiful. the kids liked running their monster buses and trucks along the bottom of the lake around and around. they have so much energy.
Mary kayaked by and stopped for a chat.
Saw this beauty down by the water when we were playing with Sam. It didn't move so I think it was just warming or digesting a big meal. It is one of the biggest garter snakes I have seen around here. He has been showing himself a few times this summer. Charlie wanted to wrap it around his neck like he did with a snake in school on a meet and greet the animal day. I told him he couldn't do that with this snake. We watched it for a while but he didn't move so the kids got bored. The next day he was gone. But I will be looking for him so I can throw him a worm or two. Always like to feed the snakes around here.
The kids wanted to sit in the kayaks after we brought them back from Parker's. Figured it was safer to let them do it on dry land than in the lake.
