Crescent Bar getaway

We had heard so many good things about Crescent Bar from friends, so we finally decided to check it out.  It did not disappoint!  Sunshine, sand, water (although cold!), and friends.  All of my favorite things.  There were so many things to celebrate while we were there- Christian and Jason both had birthdays, and Lance and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary.  Such a great place to celebrate!
Our friends Tania and Jason invited us this year, so we stayed in the condo complex that they stay in.  It was great.  The pool wasn't open yet due to covid restrictions, but they had a bounce house the first couple days we were there which was awesome for the kids.
The first day we spent exploring the river by boat and finding new coves and sand areas to check out.  The water was really high this year, so there wasn't a lot of sandy beaches, but we found a couple!  The kids had a blast riding the tube.  They become more and more daredevils every time they ride.
We bought an aqua lily pad this year (a floating foam mat) which turned out to be a big hit, especially since the water was so cold!  The kids had a blast running, jumping and doing flips on the mat.

The first night we went to eat at Tower Pizza.  We ate outside in the sun, it was perfect!  Good pizza too.
The next day we decided to venture out and find the famous "sandbar."  I gotta admit, it was pretty cool.  There were already a bunch of boats there when we arrived, so we anchored up near the end.  It ended up being the perfect spot.  The was a huge hill of sand behind us that the kids ran up and down and played in.  
 

We spent the day relaxing and floating.  The girls even made friends with another little girl their age.  So much fun!
The last full day we spent on a tiny little beach we found down the river.  It turned out to be a great spot with lots of sand for the kids to play in.  We even got to catch up with my friend Denise who I hadn't seen in forever!  It was so great reliving some of the fun times we've had over the years!  That night we ate at a restaurant on the golf course in Sunserra.  It was a perfect way to celebrate everything and end the long weekend!
We had such an amazing and relaxing time.  The kids made so many memories and really bonded with their friends.  I absolutely love going to new places and exploring new things.  We are hooked and will definitely be back again soon!!!
