A good friend of mine has been trying to get me out to Lake Waco for some time now. If you know Waco, TX you know its like 90-100 out at this point, and even blesses us with humidity sometimes. Having melted daily just walking to and from the car my initial response has always been, "ummmmm I just don't know about taking the baby in he heat." (most people will not argue if you throw the word "baby" in) lol. But, Barbara was pretty sure about this whole lake trip so this morning we (Myself, Kaden, Brooklyn, Barbara and Claire) did it! We took snacks, towels, the big green wagon, chairs and toys.....and a HUGE life vest for Kaden! Everything was awesome, there was shaded tables to sit if you'd like, beachy shallow water for many feet blocked off especially for swimming and a really nice shady park! Kaden and Brooklyn enjoyed the water so much they didn't even want to get out! Needless to say, My thanks go out to Barbara Bridgewater today for showing us you CAN get out in Texas even with the bugs and heat! (on the side note of bugs, not one mosquito was spotted!) Today, made my adventure in the state that claims to do everything "bigger" a fun and adventurous one for the whole family!
Here's a few facts to consider when going....so I've been told
the weekends are busy, thus making it hard to keep an eye on your child(ren)
it's $4 per car load or $30 for the season to enter the area (if your friend has a pass borrow it!)
take plenty of water and sunscreen because the beachy area isn't shaded for the little ones
rafts and floats make it fun
They have a selection of life vests available for you to borrow FREE of charge for the children! AWESOME!
There are bbq's but sometimes they put them off limits because of the wind/heat advisory!
So, if your inside in Waco going crazy with your kids.....GET MOVING! The lake is great in Waco!
One more thing, I hear come August it isn't so "refreshing" due to the water getting hotter!
