So this Sunday we decided to go see Folsom lake. It's only about a half hour drive from our house. We haven't gone before because the lake was so low that it didn't seem interesting enough. Especially for Ron. But this year after all the rainstorms we had in the spring months the lake filled up to capacity. We decided it might be a little more fun now that there is some water to play in. The kids loved it. They had a blast. We found a spot that had a place to rent inner tubes and life jackets since we forgot to bring our own. Ron planned the trip. To his credit though we didn't know what to expect because we hadn't been there before. They even had a chair for me to sit on. It was really nice, they had sectioned off and area just for swimming and no boats were allowed to cross the buoy's. The wonderful thing was that Jaxen actually played more in the water than in the dirt. I don't mind him playing in the dirt, but he's always been warry of the water. He would put his feet in once but then the rest of the time he spent in the dirt with no interest in the water. This time however, He seemed to really enjoy the water. He would run his sand truck from the beach into the water and back. He would jump around and splash. He even went on the tube with daddy and loved it! We are really proud of him! It really was a great day! We came home took a nap and then played Beattles rockband. Kaeryn and Tristan sang and Jaxen was the crazy drummer. All in all a really enjoyable trip! One that we might do again if we get the chance.
