We went fishing and boating morning 3 ... Q3 went in the boat twice, and C4, not at all. The pond was very small, but cute. You had to wear a life jacket in the boat,so C4 opted out. Also, she's never really been keen on boats.
Then in the afternoon we swam at the pool. Fun, easy, cooooool. Because the sun had come out and was beating down on us. The breeze off the York river was nice, but not enough, mid-day.
Day 4 we went to the pier. At one point there had been a rule that under-12's needeed life jackets. It turns out that rule was defunct, but all the girls had life jackets except for Celeste ... and when she found out she was to wear one she kind of ... flipped out. She tried all her strategies for getting out of it to no avail. In the spirit of parents and dog owners everywhere, I decided to go with bribery. She puts the life jacket on ... she gets a treat. She doesn't cry for 5 mintues, she gets a treat. She attempts to fish ... she gets a treat. And so forth. Peppermint patties and a donut are very very very effective.
Before treats: (yeah, I know this is sideways, I blame C40)
After treats:
Very very successful.
