Hello! Mel decided that if we waited for a perfect sunny day to go to the beach, when she also didn't have to work, we would never ever get there. So we went today! Mel packed us a picnic lunch to share.
Then there were fresh strawberries and raspberries for dessert! We chose some of each!
There were a few other people at the beach, but not as many as there will be later in the summer.
The lighthouse and pier looked closer than this picture makes it look! We could see people walking along it.
The lake was very calm, so Mel let us go closer to the water.
We looked along the shoreline for shells! There weren't many, because the water here is fresh and while it has a lot of fish, not as many animals with shells live here. We found some though, and took them back to share with Cilly and Vanilla. They were building a sand castle, and we decorated it with our shells!
Buzz Bluejay put some feathers on the castle to help decorate it, too! But then Horatio, the Dragon, came by and said that dragons are supposed to attack castles, and he knocked it to the group! we were all upset with him, especially Mel. He got a big lecture, and a bite on the tail from Buzz, who was really mad at him!
