So it turns out there's a beach not too far away! We went there this morning with our new playgroup, which is made up of moms from the Colorado Attachment Parenting forum that I'm on--we all live south of Denver, and while only two of us are as far south as Castle Rock, the others aren't that far away, probably 15-30 minutes depending on the person. And the reservoir--where you can bike and camp and swim and water ski and winter camp and hot-air balloon, among other things--is only about 45 minutes away. Not bad!
Abby surprised me by making a beeline for the water's edge and joining in with the other kids as they built sand castles. She's losing her shyness bit by bit, we're so proud of her! And Penny Jane, fearless little thing that she is, took off for the water and would have walked in who knows how far had I not snatched her back.
The only bummer about the lake is the geese. There are many of them. Many. And, sadly, they leave their little offerings everywhere, especially down by the water. So that was kind of gross, and sort of ruined some of the fun since you were constantly dodging piles of poop as you walked.
It was the first time the play group had gone there, and we all agreed that we probably wouldn't be going back any time soon. But regardless, Abby said she had a really fun day, and PJ seemed to enjoy herself. :)
