Lake Del Valle

  The kids were not the only ones participating in swimming events over the weekend.  I did a race with some swimming buddies on sunday in the east bay.  We swam in Lake Del Valle in Livermore.  It was a beautiful drive to the park and lake.  The water was warm and it was a gorgeous morning for a swim race.  The lake was calm and there was no wind.  I swam the 2.5k which is 1.5 miles.  Not too long, but not a short race either!!

  I guess Hannah was the first to spot me nearing the last buoy.  Love seeing this perspective! 

  The walk back to the car is always so long! 

  We went out for lunch in the nearby town of Pleasanton and also had a little treat at the walk-up dairy.  If I was in the mood for my own ice cream, I would have definitely tried the pineapple soft serve.  I ended up sharing a lot with the kids and the chocolate and vanilla were quite tasty!

  We haven't spent much time in the east bay and so this day trip was super fun for us.  The swim took it out of me and so after lunch and our treat I was ready to get home.  We all napped the afternoon away!
