It was a hot summer day, and he was soaking up the sun. The water against his skin felt amazing too. This was the first time he and his family had come to Windsor Lake. But as he walked deeper into the water, he felt something touch his leg. He thought it was algae or a water plant, so he didn’t really give it a second thought. Then, he noticed something surfacing from the water. It was a tiny human foot, and he leapt into action.

So, he talked it over with his wife. They considered taking a trip to the countryside. But he had no idea that there were some things he simply couldn’t have planned for on this vacay.
The Sunset Was Worth It

He had done some research on Lake Windsor and fell in love with the beautiful scenery. He was particularly fond of the sunset dipping beyond the horizon. The different hues in the sky made such a spectacular sight that he wanted to enjoy it in person. That’s why he decided to take his family there. Once he got there, one of the first things he did was walk into the lake until he was waist-deep. Then, something happened that messed up his R&R.
Lake Full Of Fun

Mondragon took his family on a relaxing vacation for the weekend. It was a great way to de-stress from the hectic weekday. So, they drove 25 minutes from their home until they got to Lake Windsor. Once they arrived, they noticed a bunch of people already hiking, swimming, and boating nearby. And they all seemed to be having a lot of fun. So, he parked his car, assuming he would be having a good time too. Then, he noticed one family. He was unaware that these people and that lake would wind up giving him quite a fright.
Crossing The Path

Emma Hernandez couldn’t go to the lake, but her daughter, Sitlaly, did. Hernandez had a tough day at work, so her family took their daughter to the lake. And they were there that same Sunday that the Mondragon family were there. Sitlaly was awestruck by the beautiful lake. But Sitlaly and Mondragon hadn’t realized that their lives were about to cross.
