Hawk Island Park is within walking distance of our home and while we’ve driven by it a dozen times we hadn’t had the time to explore it until this past Sunday. Dave and I loaded up the kids, slathered on the sun screen and drove the 2 miles to the park. It turned out to be a cute little park and after parking we walked a short path down to the beach. They actually had a large splash pad, but Ajax opted for the lake. We dropped our blankets and cooler and brought the kids into the water. Noomi loved being held with her feet splashing. She also liked sitting on Dave’s lap and scooping up sand. She then had me walk her up and down the beach, she would walk along the sand and then knee deep in the water. Back and forth, back and forth. My back is so sun burnt. Ajax and Dave dug holes in the sand and filled up the dump truck which Ajax zipped all around. It turned out to be a lovely day and everyone had a great time!
The life guards were very strict and every hour everyone had to exit the water and sit in the grass while they did a security/rules review.
