Mantua Reservoir - Thursday, July 18, 2013

We invited friends to meet us and go swimming at the lake in Mantua.  We had fun the other times we came and we were so surprised at ourselves for not realizing that there was a fun lake so close by us.  The kids loved it and were so excited to have so many friends come swimming with them.  After swimming for about an hour, somebody noticed a sign warning people that they are swimming at their own risk and beware of getting swimmers itch.  I'd never heard of that before, but I figured that is probably why this lake isn't too busy and probably why most people don't swim here and I hadn't heard of people swimming in it before.  I felt a little embarrassed for inviting so many people to come and play in this lake where people get swimmers itch.  I had no idea.  It wasn't as fun after we saw that sign.  We didn't stay for too much longer after that.  But we all still had fun.
There were someother people there who had a big fun island toy that they let the kids play on.
