Funny Lake Compounce Story

A few weeks ago I came on the board all worried about a trip that I was taking with my daughter and husband to Lake Compounce. All of you gave me the greatest advice and terrific words of encouragement. Well, I went on August 5th. It was a very sunny, hot but not humid type of day. We had Victoria (14months) in the stroller and walked to the company tents for lunch and then decided to get her in the water. Well, she fell asleep during lunch and slept right up until we got to the water. She was so sound asleep that we didn't even have the heart to wake her up!!!! So, we just dangled our feet in the water with her sleeping in the stroller. We ended up just leaving, having decided that she was just too tired, too hot and too young to really enjoy the park. So, all that worry and anticipation for nothing!!!! Well, next year, hopefully I will be a much more park friendly size and not have to worry about a darn thing...except keeping my child awake!!!! Thanks for everything you guys!!! Gina

Hi Gina, So, you spent the day with your daughter and son in law and grandaughter. You walked, you talked, laughed and dangled your feet in the water while the baby slept. Sounds like a good day to me! Many more are on the way, Enjoy!

Gina, Someone (I can't remember who) always said, "The things we worry about most, are the things that never end up happening." It's SO true. I used to (sometimes still do, like having to fly on the 23rd) have terrible anticipatory anxiety and worry about "things to come" that I've stayed awake nights. Only to find out it all happens in a different way anyways. I'm glad you at least to see LC anyways. I grew up there as a kid. It's a LOT different now from 40 years ago! paula

Hey Gina, Well too bad our little Victoria slept the whole time, but you still enjoyed your family and a day out together for alittle while. Good for you, Next time you will go on the rides and Victoria will be running all around. Take care and God Bless. Hugs KimC

Glad it all turned out for you - I think I'm going to go there on Friday - is it a good place for a 3 (almost 4) year old??

Hey Tammy! I am going to be there on Friday too! I will look for you there. It is a great place for the littles. I have a 3.5 and a 5.5 yr old who LOVED LC the last time we visited. They are already talking about going on the rides and waterpark again. Look for me too okay??? terri

Hi Terri - My friend who lives in Bristol that I was supposed to go with just contacted me to tell me she can't make it - we changed it to go in early September - maybe the 1st. I would have loved to meet up with you and your beautiful daughters! Hope you have a great time - it's supposed to be a beautiful day - we're going to head to Stanley Park in Westfield, MA instead - they have a fun show scheduled for the kids there............ Take Care! Tammy
