Beach Day

We love to go to Lake Sammamish in the summer. We usually go to Vasa Park where there is slides, a diving board and lots of sand to build sand castles. We don't always stay long because my kids, I have found, are not big swimmers. This day, however, Livi got into the water and the boys didn't. Despite the cool water (the water here isn't terribly warm) she got all the way in. Alex and Isaac just built sand castles that were immediately dozed over by little kids. It was amazing how many kids were there that day. City Church has a day camp program and that day they were at Vasa Park. I was amazed at the sheer number of kids and the organization of it. There were literally hundreds that were taking turns swimming on the beach, boating and riding wave runners, and playing at the playgrounds. They were all in little groups, and each child had a buddy they were responsible for. All the groups had several youth counselors. It was like a well-oiled machine, so props to City Church!
