The Layla Shark

We went to Rigby Lake this morning and had a lot of fun. I was a little skeptical about the cleanliness and overall appeal, since I'd never been, but it turned out to be a great spot for summer fun! Layla was so excited to go to the "wake" but had no idea what it was. When we got there, she immediately exclaimed, "Whoa, water!". 
She was very hesitant about actually playing in the water for the first hour or so and settled with scooping sand and rocks with someone else's shovel. Tanner and I both kept taking turns with her, coaxing her further in, it was finally Tanner who got her LOVING it! I have a video too, but I'll post it separately. I was SO relieved that she finally enjoyed the lake the way it was meant to be enjoyed on a hot day.
(When I bathe Layla, one of the only ways I can get her to lie back and rinse the shampoo out of her hair is to say she's just like a shark. I tried "fish" at first, but shark was much more affective for some reason. She loves it and will now always call herself a "Waywa shark" anytime in water.)

What a fun day! It is good to know Layla likes the water. You will have to bring her to the lake with us next week!
