Cousins in Twain Harte


For the sixth year in a row, we had a Cecchin cousin-fest at the Best Kids' Lake in the World (at least our kids think so... that makes it official, right?). 


 

With its awesome slides, floating platforms, and diving board, and its iconic Snack Shack and Rock, Twain Harte Lake never fails to deliver a good time, especially with the company of cousins Tommy, Marco, Lucy, lots of aunts and uncles, and Grandma Cecchin!

The kids had a blast playing in the sand, testing their water skills on slides and diving boards, and Joey "Muscles" Cecchin even rowed his mommy all the way across the lake and back.

This year, we had two swimmers pass the swim test, which involves swimming two laps of freestyle, and two laps of breaststroke between two of the lake's diving platforms. While we fully expected Joey to pass, we had no idea how determined Clara would be to pass as well... she even got extra credit for veering waaaay out into the middle of the lake before correcting her course and returning to one of the platforms during the first lap of her test.

We couldn't spend a weekend in Twain Harte without hitting up the miniature golf course as well as the local Mexican restaurant. But there was also plenty of down time in the cabin and outside in the hammock!

Here's to another fun weekend at an adorable little lake that holds lots of memories for both big and little Cecchins!
