This is Thousand Hills lake. It's a huge lake in a huge state park. They used to charge about $3 because they had to pay lifeguards. But sometime in the last several years, they did away with the lifeguards and put up "swim at your own risk" signs.
Expect, no, that's a bad thing. But when family or close friends congregate usually the understanding is that all adult eyes are on all kids, and therefore assistance with children is freely offered and many hope to have their help accepted (after all, they miss their nephew/cousin/BFF's mini me). Unless this is a really weird family relations someone would have been thrilled to help Aislyn around the water.There will be life jackets for the boat. The floaties are just for the swimming area.
Aislyn and Aedan are my responsibility. My friend's family is but responsible, too. There won't be any unsupervised it's with our group. But I'm not gonna expect other people to take responsibility for my kids.
We have some really big lakes here also. I've never heard of having to pay to swim in one though.This is Thousand Hills lake. It's a huge lake in a huge state park.

Been there, done that, my sympathies.A moth got inside. The cats are in the process of trashing the house while trying to catch it. Every few seconds there's another crash. Oh, and they just woke the baby up. At least they're having fun, I guess?

You might check to see if either of the cats has a UTI. If they do, they soon associate the litter pan with the pain of trying to go.I have a question and perhaps somebody could refer me to a different thread.
I have an Open Air Litter Robot, I also have an 18 year old Persian cat besides 3 others cats. Two of the other cats have been using the LR for quite a while but the Persian was reluctant. Finally I saw her climbing out of it so I praised her, told her she was a good girl and gave her a treat. Every time I saw her using the LR instead of the old box I praised her, told her she was a good girl and gave her a treat to re-enforce that this is where she is supposed to do her business. So far this is working fine but now she expects a treat every time, running into the kitchen while making sure that I am following her and meowing the whole time, she is still in there getting louder all the time. How do I break her from expecting a treat every time she uses the LR and then making loud noises when she does not get one? Of course I do not want her to revert to the old box.
The other cat that does not use the LR is a different story altogether. She is also 18 years old now. I had gotten the original, much smaller LR about 14 years ago and she took to it the very first day it was in the house and religiously used it for about 8 years. At that point she decided she would not have any use for any kind of covered box and would pee on the floor. So I got her an open box and I had to go back to scooping which I don't have to do with the LR. Then I acquired the Persian who did not take to the LR but used the open box. A few years later I got the Open Air LR which she did not use until just recently. In the meantime the picky cat decided she would not use the box either but went back to doing her business on the floor. I now put doggie training pads on the floor where she preferred to do her business but that is no solution. Any thoughts on any of that?
It's the Owl and the Pussycat!You might enjoy this tender set of photos. It proves we CAN all get along together.

Neither cat has UTI and all my cats hated Cat Attract, they stopped digging in it, just left everything there on the surface. I did not like it either. Corn litter does not work well either. Just recently tried Arm & Hammer Ultra Last which appears a success, there is less litter on the floor, it really stops the stink and that is when Bebe started to use the Litter Robot (probably just a coincidence). Picky cat has been using the empty box with puppy pads in it to pee, but still poops on the floor in front of the LR, always at night. LR's drawer gets emptied every two days in the morning, puppy pads are changed every morning. No scooping and I need only the one LR, the original one I still have has not been used lately. I can put up with the way the situation is at this time but still hoping that picky cat (Capucchino) will eventually go back to the LR.You might check to see if either of the cats has a UTI.

If you don't ave to have a specific kind of litter for your pans, you might try Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract. It was recommended to us by a feline behaviorist when Darwin was acting out by pooping right beside the pan. He watched as my husband put the new litter in and hopped into the box immediately. He hasn't missed since.
