we were thrilled to be allowed to go see where ingrid's lake hut was. first we had to take a train to near the slovenian border, and then ingrid and her dog mäx walked us the mile to the lake. it was very hot, but thankfully we got there in time to cool off.
the shore is never shallow, it is deep, over my head basically the second you get in. henry and i had bought arm swim floater things for security, and there were always people in the water with them anyways. i was being pretty lazy, and i'm not a very confident swimmer so i wore a swim vest the whole time, flashing back to times when i was a kid on a rowboat.
the neighbors lent me a paddle boat (while i was sleeping on a lawn swing, so i was surprised to see our people on the lake when i awoke) ... dinner was grilled veggies, and ingrid and karli had halloumi for the first time. it was all very yummy. i got to paddle around the lake too, and do more swimming.
But one more thing. when we got back, we left the kids for a few minutes, nominally to get themselves ready for bed, while we went to pick up our csa box that we're taking care of for jackie and andi. also a guy called to say we could pick up 90 kids books from willhaben. so brian and i went together to do that and we came back to find the kids not ready for bed at all, and complaining that we should watch a movie. naaaah, not tonight.
