At Lake Temescal

You folks stuck in the rolling summer fog of the SF winter- come on over, the weather's great!
75 degrees today, and looking warmer all week. Perfect for a refreshing dip at the lake. It looks like our beach season is beginning again.
I think we will be spending a great deal of sunny days at beautiful Lake Temescal. Only a few minutes up Hwy 13, the lake water is warm, seems clean, and couldn't be more picturesque here in the Oakland hills. There's a clean sandy beach for scooping with sand toys, a big grassy lawn for picnicking, and restrooms too. Trees? Got 'em. Shade? Plenty. Easy walk? Sure. Baby ducklings? Yeah! This place could not be more ideal for The Mommy and her own baby ducklings.
What's even better is that we got to hang out with some friends- Anlie and most of her ducklings (3 of 4) came to the beach too. All the kids had a blast splashing in the water, digging in the sand and letting loose in the outdoors. After a hard winter on the virus train, the kids (and The Mommy too) really deserved a beautiful day of frolicking in the sun. I am happy to report that the dark circles around Zoe's eyes have finally disappeared, and have been replaced by light and smiles.
