We're back from "The Lake" (Lake Almanor, for those who aren't in the know) and our week away went far too quickly. Kyle had a blast playing in the sand, but wasn't too interested in getting wet, following us in the water to get his feet wet only a couple of times. He was even less thrilled with boat rides, mainly because he had to wear his life vest, which was uncomfortable as it pushed up under his chin.
He did surprisingly well on the 5+ hour drive there and back, with two naps each way, and with me sitting in the back seat with him to give him snacks and keep him amused with toys or a narrative of our drive. Nap time for him was a great relief from the non-stop action of each day, with 4 other kids running around. Kyle loved having some big kids to look up to, and I'm sure he will enjoy interacting with them a bit more once he is a little older and he can keep up.
We saw lots of wildlife up there, mostly deer and a couple of osprey, and unfortunately not many fish. Dave didn't have a chance to go fishing this year, as he was around as much as possible to spend time with Kyle. Kyle was enthralled with the fishing poles, so maybe next year he'll be up for catching a fish! I'll post some more photos of our trip as soon as I have a chance to go through some more of them.
