We spent a splendid day at the lake with a few EGN School families. It's funny how your social circle does a lot of morphing to the parents of your kids friends. It was nice because although a good share of these folks were parents of 3rd graders, there was a 1st grade family or two and a couple scout families too. Even nicer because in the words of RH "I've never seen a group of kids get along so well. There haven't been any fights!" Well said, RH!
My favorite part was when Julia was looking for a seat by the fire and MC said, "Here, come sit with me!" Soooo cute!!
Trying to catch them jumping into the lake was hysterical. Timing was, well, a challenge. We spent the day boating, eating and doing some stuff for the kids (thanks for the s'mores Ellen!!)
Thanks to John G. for being the grill chef! Man makes a mean dog!! Best idea of the day goes to my sister, Heather, for coming up with the idea to freeze a bunch of toys in a block of ice for the kids. Brilliant - big hit!!

Love the 3 in the air shot! Looks like a very fun day! Explain the toys in the ice thing. A bunch of toys in one block of ice? Or in ice cube trays? I'm thinking one big block. How do you make it? In a plastic container? I'm all intrigued. Sounds like a fun thing for summer bday parties... Like little dollar store stuff inside? Rings and little plastic animals and stuff?
Yes to all of the above. Went to dollar store and bought all plastic stuff (the Mighty Beans were the most popular) and froze them in a block of ice. I used those silicone baking dishes.
