King's Beach

Yesterday was a beautiful day, and finally warm enough to head to the beach!

We had a relaxing morning at the lodge sleeping in and getting plenty of rest.

We headed into town and went to Subway for lunch before heading over to King's Beach!

The air was windy and a little cool, but the sand was SO WARM!!!

We each sat there in our swimming suits just feeling the warm sand on our bodies and in our toes...

After a little while, the kids started braving the water...

It was a little chilly and definitely took some getting used to...

Kesslyn enjoyed jumping over the waves as they would roll up onto the beach.

She wanted to hunt for seashells, but I had to remind her that we were at a lake and not the ocean. :)

Kambriella and Gavin decided they wanted to try kayaking, so we went and rented them one that they could go out on together.

We watched them get the hang of it together pretty quickly!

They looked like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves out there on the water! 

Kesslyn and I had fun playing in the sand, collecting all the different colors of sand, and making "magic mixies" together.

We walked around exploring, doing gymnastics, eating our snacks, and dipping our toes in the water.

After about an hour of kayaking out on the water the kids headed back in. They said they had so much fun and want to do it again today for Kambriella's birthday!

As soon as we got back to the lodge we spent a little time getting things ready for the next day. Kambriella was in charge of laundry while the boys took care of dishes and making dinner, while I wrapped birthday presents in my bedroom. :)

After dinner, we gathered up our movie treats and went back down to the private movie theater and watched the next Hobbit movie. The kids LOVED the private theater, and so did I!

After the movie was over we went back up to our room and had scriptures and prayer and called it a night. Today is going to be a big day since we are celebrating Kambriella's 14th birthday all day!

So glad we have this sweet time together, but I'm sad our vacation is quickly coming to an end...

Time to get out there and enjoy another day...Happy Birthday Kambriella!
