The girls squeezed in one last adventure before the return to school. Fox Lake is just outside of Edinburgh and it's an outdoors adventure park. It has over-the-water rope courses, wake boarding water courses, ringo pulls, ziplines, and segway tours. We had hoped for better weather, but that's not the kind of thing you can wait for in Scotland. We've learned that if you want to do things, sometimes you have to do it in the rain!
The girls started the day with a segway tour around the lake then they changed into wetsuits for a long day of wake boarding. It was Brenna's first time wake boarding and I wasn't sure how well she's do. After watching other people with little experience make attempts, it was apparent that your level of enjoyment was directly related to how long you could stay up on the board. Otherwise, you're just being dragged around the lake in muddy cold water. Luckily, she took to it easily and quickly mastered the art of the getting the board up in the water. After several runs through the course the coaches began to teach her how to steer and maneuver. Overall, her first wake boarding experience was a success!
Despite the less than desirable weather, we were fortunate not get any significant rain through out the day. We all enjoyed lunch lake-side and the moms spent the day visiting. After so long in lockdown, it was wonderful to have what felt like a normal day out with friends. The start of school was right around the corner and future plans were uncertain due to the increase in covid cases. We knew another lockdown was coming and we appreciated the opportunity to just be with friends.
