We are pretty lucky to have Fireman's Beach less than ten minutes from us. For years I have been taking the kids to swimming lessons in Meadville. Sometimes I get tired of driving to Meadville. So I decided to sign Jordan up for swim lessons this year at Fireman's Beach. I wasn't sure about swim lessons in Conneaut Lake. First, they go for three weeks - really, three weeks!? (at least it's close) Second, the temperature of the water would be kind of unpredictable, especially at 9 am. But Jordan is enjoying himself. Yesterday he wouldn't get out of our pool until he had practiced everything he learned at that day's lessons. And as a bonus (for him, not me), Jordan plays at the park after lessons. I would prefer to just go home....but I guess it's not all about me.
Fireman's Beach is a great place. The sand is clean and soft; the grassy area is clean. Trees provide some shade. You can launch your boat there. The park is nice for kids. Concession stand is cheap - goodness knows my kids can't be expected to go somewhere like that and NOT buy something from the concession area.
So this week is a little crazy with so much stuff scheduled, but I guess that's part of what this blog is about - what we do in the summer. Fireman's Beach is not anything unique, but it's part of our summer, it deserves to be an entry.
