Kids Day at OSYC, June 20

June 20th was hot, hot, hot, but there was a good breeze. With the wind blowing across the point, it wasn’t too bad if you stayed in the shade or in the water. Of course the 13 or so kids had no trouble at all with the heat. Ronnie Young brought two sit-on-top kayaks, I brought an inflatable boat and there was one already at the club, Jay brought an inflatable row boat. The peddle boat that Greg Phillips found on the lake was also available. Everyone, including the adults had turns at whatever they wanted. I also brought my pontoon boat and a pull behind tube and that was a big hit. Every kid that wanted to had a turn or two at being towed behind the boat. The boat and captain got tired before the kids did. We also had a treasure hunt on Airport Island and found the geocache. Every kid took a one treasure out of the cache and someone found a note that described a treasure also buried on the club grounds. The kids made short work of finding the treasure in the pile of dirt near the swimming area. Another big hit were water balloons. They had a ball filling up the balloons at the spigot and throwing them at one another. Charlotte brought hot dogs, chips and cookies and Michael Dortch grilled them and they were ready at 4 PM. After everyone had their fill, the left overs were left on the table and by 7 PM all those were gone. It was a fun filled day and if everyone was as tired as I was, they went to be early that night and did very little the next day.
