Yaman Park: July 14, 2010

My kids LOVE the beach!  It was hard to pull them away today.

When we got at Yaman Beach in Cortland, the sky was just clearing from a small shower that sprung up on our way there.  To our surprise the lifeguards had closed the beach because they said they heard "distant thunder".  So when that happens they are required to shut the swimming area down for 30 minutes.  By the time we got there, the sky was a brilliant blue without a cloud in sight, but they refused to allow anyone on the beach!  We came back thirty minutes later to find them playing cards and we were told that they would open after "this hand".  How crazy is that?  10 minutes after that I finally said to them that they needed to open the area because a lot of people were waiting (about 30) and reluctantly they did.  BUT they grumbled, made comments and were VERY unprofessional.  So I'm on a search for somebody I can talk to about this-- 

Despite the guard's stupid behavior, we had a good time.  Our friends Ryan and Kevin came a long and it made the afternoon that much sweeter.
