A Very Brief Visit to Idlewood Park


Saturday, June 30th, 2007. After our delightful visit to Ohio, and the beach at the Springfield reservoir in particular, Erika is up for more sand and surf. On the east side of Bellevue, about a 20-minute drive from our house is Idlewood Park on Lake Sammamish. Idlewood has a charming bit of sand and the lake is quite inviting. However, Erika was not in an accommodating mood that morning. She failed to comply with mommy's instructions and was given the ultimatum, "Do you want to go home?!" to which Erika replied with a spirited head butt! So we went home. It was a long, tearful 20-minute ride back. I hope that on our next trip to Idlewood, we can break the elusive 2-minute barrier and actually touch the water. Or even the sand.
