Nothing is more calming and relaxing than large bodies of water -- oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, hot tubs in the Poconos. So naturally the boys jumped at the chance to spend the afternoon and evening with Lil' Kraig's family on Walnut Lake yesterday. After all, yesterday I was forcing those poor children to pick out their own clothes for the summer. And try on those clothes to make sure that sleeves and pants were long enough. Such injustice! Such drama! Such stress! And roughly 72 hours before departure.
After some deep water swimming and pizza, Liam and Gray were much happier. So was I.
I learned several things yesterday - 1) Jet's makes a decent Greek salad. 2) Lakes can have undertows. *I have not independently verified this information, but I have faith in the source and will believe this to be true until I have time to Google* 3) One can get a sunburn after 4 PM in Michigan - who knew?
Right now, roughly 48 hours until departure, things are starting to seem 'real.' The boys are packed and have fresh haircuts (Thank you Lola and Mae!) Pat and I still need to pack, but since the heating and cooling guy fixed the AC for our bedroom this afternoon, we can pack in comfort later tonight.
The list of things to do is getting shorter and shorter.
