Jim's Dad has made some observations about the holiday on his blog "False-River"
We always enjoy heading south to "the river" for any reason. Enforced relaxation - no internet, sketchy phone service. Good food, no where to go other than the camp so the kids tend to stay put. Swimming, reading, puzzles, games, sleeping in, fireworks, and of course family.
Swimming in the river is a process. At first, when the kids are little, it takes some coaxing and encouragement to get them in. The water is green, and can be murky. They have to wear a life jacket at first. As they get older, they get in more readily, eventually jumping in from the low side of the pier. Then there's always the year they jump from the high side of the pier, and this was the year for DS#1.

Great fun. False Rive looks so huge yet it is only a lake.

That always makes me giggle. You guys all call it the river, but I guess it hasn't been a river for a long, long time! False-River Lake...just doesn't have a ring to it.
