Lake Winnipesaukee

We got invited by Chris' friend of a friend, to his family's lake house on lake Winnipesaukee.  We got started on the road after breakfast.  Once we got up to Gilford we stopped at a little boat launch/swimming area, called Alton Bay, for the girls to have snack and go potty.  We were a little earlier than we'd said we would arrive, so we meandered around there for a few minutes before getting back in the car. 
 We arrived and met David, his parents, his wife, and two young sons.  There was a nice back yard area with a little beach and plenty of toys.  Abby and Zoë were content to play in this little pretend house for a bit, but pretty soon they really wanted to go in the water.  We got their suits on and let them splash around, luckily it got deeper very, very gradually so they were able to walk out and around a good bit without it getting too deep on them.  Chris and I sat on the dock chatting with David while we watched them, and then before lunch we decided to walk down to the end of the dock to check things out.  There was a latter down into the water so we let each of the girls climb in and out there, but pretty soon Mommy had to get in too, as they wanted to play there.  The water was chilly at first, but even at the end of the dock I could touch with the water just going up to my waist.
 Just before Abby and Zoë convinced me to swim under the water, it was time to hop out for some chicken fingers and french fries on the back deck.  Mommy and Daddy were having a hot dog, when both of the girls decided they were done and wanted to go play in the little house.  Unfortunately this didn't last long and Zoë ran right down to the water with a float trying to get in alone.  This scene finished Mommy's lunch real quick, as it was then time to review water safety issues.
 Abby and Zoë just had a blast playing in the sand by the calm water, even getting Daddy to bury them in the sand, and then running back to the water every minute to "wash off".  They got to play and we got to visit a little longer before we did a rinse off in the lake and packed the girls in the car.  It was around 2:00 p.m. when we got on the road, so wasn't long before both of the girls were snoozing away in the back seat.
