John and I helped the kids get acclimated to swimming in the lake. We stopped the boat in the middle of the bay in front of our cabin and told them all that they had to swim home. There was some crabbing, but they all made it home safely. Now, they are much more comfortable playing in the water and swimming all over the place.
Jonah and Shane have traditionally been the most afraid of swimming, but they have improved 110%! Shane has learned to put his face in the water and blow bubbles. Jonah will jump off the rafts and go completly underwater and come up smiling instead of crying. It is so much fun to see them all enjoying the lake now!
Mission accomplished!
Yesterday I took the kids to Sault St Marie to do some grocery shopping since our grocery stores here leave much to be desired. We decided to check out the Soo Locks and the kids and I were lucky enough to watch two freighters get lowered in the locks! They were full of questions and were so excited to see some really big boats. It was a great morning activity and we all had a good time!
We are battling some serious heat and humidity and have been loving our ability to cool off in the lake in the blink of en eye. We are still in vacation mode and don't have any plans to switch off any time soon!
