we had wonderful times at the beach and in the water… the area is quiet so that means the beach is too the majority of the time…

I did watch kids from a few cottages over as they kneeboarded and that was fun…

we went in the water often and it was refreshing… we floated on pool noodles and had deep conversations and lots of laughter…

we also found tons of zebra mussels… only a couple the first few days, but after a really windy evening that blew into shore there were many clusters under our feet… one day we spent at least an hour or so feeling them with our toes and then having someone lift them up with their feet so we could collect them and bring them to shore to be disposed of… it was great exercise…

they are very sharp and all three of my companions ended up with cuts on their feet that had to be taken care of to be sure that no infections occurred… I nearly always wore my water shoes so happily was able to feel the clumps or sticks or rocks with them on and not get injured…

it was rather concerning to see so many…
