Today we went to Egin Lakes. The lakes are surrounded by the sand dunes. If you don't think about it too much, you could imagine yourself at a beach - minus the lapping waves, seagulls, crowds, and salty smell. The Cousins and our friends came. All the kids had a great time - even the 18 year old. The two kayaks were well used along with the floating rafts, buckets, shovels, and beach ball.
The kids could kayak everywhere because the lakes never get deeper than about mid - thigh. It is a great place to practice or learn. Other kids built sandcastles with moats. Then they all helped to catch 54 horseshoe crabs and 7 polliwogs. They put them all into one bucket. They wanted to let them swim in the moat around the castle but it didn't work out. At the end, they were released one by one.
What a great place to play - until the water seeps away and the moss grows too thick!
