Swim Lagoon - splashing good fun!

We went down to Castro Valley today and enjoyed a morning at the Cull Canyon Swim Lagoon. I've been wanting to check it out for a while now: it's a sandy-bottom chlorinated swimming area. It's got sandy beaches, and a "dock" for jumping off of.

My childhood friend Rhea (better known in these parts as Gallagher-the-horse's owner) and her fiance are visiting and so we took them down there with us.

Overall it was great. The only issue is that it was a tad cold (weather report says it got to 67F in Berkeley, 74F in Castro Valley), but still lots of fun.

The girls enjoyed their new all-over swim suits, although as you can see Clara insisted on wearing what she calls her "baby" swim suit over the other one.
