On Lake Time {at Flamingo Lake in Jacksonville, FL}

It's becoming an annual tradition to go to the lake at the beginning of each Summer. My mother-in-law rents a yurt at Flamingo Lake in Jacksonville, FL and we all spend a few days hanging out in the water and on the shore. So much fun!

Flamingo Lake is an inexpensive staycation destination in our city, and we love it! Who needs to pack up, load up, and head out of town when you have such a fun spot right in your backyard?

{seriously, can she get any cuter? too bad that float has a hole in it...someone send a patch kit!}

{different swimsuit, different day. gotta love hand-me-downs from cousins and momma's Old Navy discount!}

{we've discovered Frogglez Goggles. You want to get your kids a pair TODAY. A separate post telling you why, coming soon.}

{I don't feel like I'm spending enough time with this boy lately. He's the sweetest, most giving boy on the planet. Jonah Bonah, momma loves you!}

{on the last day, I treated them {haha!} to McDonald's Happy Meals}

{Jake brought a friend with him. Teenagers, y'all.}

 

 

See those inflatables behind them? It's an additional $7 per day, per person, but worth every penny. You and your kids can go out there and climb and jump and slide until your hearts content. And then, you all go home, or back to your campsite, and PASS OUT! A quiet night is well worth the $7 per kid in my book!

{everyone had their share of kisses from the sun...McKinley was no exception. She came home with quite the tan.}

{Jett spent most of his time at the lake sitting on the shore, catching minnows and tadpoles, digging them holes and filling them with water. I tell you guys often that he's an animal lover. I mean every word of it!}

 

Do you have a favorite staycation spot in your hometown?? Ours is, for sure, Flamingo Lake!
