Brent got off work early yesterday and we drove up to Lake Merwin with our friends, the Stromberg's. (They have three boys...7, 4 and 2! When we need a boy fix, we'll call them and when they need a girl fix, they'll call us!) Anyways, they have a really nice boat, and invited us to go along! It was a great opportunity for us since the weather has been so hot. You wouldn't believe how warm the lake water was! It was so nice and refreshing! The lake is only 45 minutes northeast from our house! It was the first time we've ever been there...we are learning that Vancouver has a lot to offer and it would be so much fun to own a boat! There are lots of recreational opportunities up here! We started off with a boat ride out to a spot where we stopped and jumped in because we were all so hot. Then we went out to a beach that their boys call "salamander island." There was a marshy area with standing water where the boys caught salamanders, and our girls watched them! It is so amazing to see the differences between boys and girls! There were underwater stumps to snorkel around, and lots of shells to pick up. We unpacked our coolers and layed out blankets to eat a picnic dinner. After dinner, we went back out on the boat and the kids rode on the big tube, Kevin wake boarded, Darby skied and we watched Brent attempt wake boarding! I haven't talked to him yet this morning because he is at work, but I bet he is pretty sore! We got home around 9:30 and it was still about 90 degrees here at home! It was such a great evening with great friends...thank you Stromberg's!
