COME ON SUMMER!!!!!!!

We just couldn't wait for full on summer to make our first trip to the lake.  The water may not have been swimmable... but the sand sure was playable, and the sun sure was shinable, and my kiddos sure were lovable!!!! It was an amazing and sunny afternoon, and the kids have been dying to play with the sand toys I got at the end of last summer (for 75% off).

First thing's first, set up play site and have a snack.

Next, scope out the beach, and make friends with the geese.

Then... on to the sand playing!!!

Tyler takes a few minutes to build a pond for a boat race :)

Miss Olivia built a great castle and picks out just the perfect sticks for the top :)



After all that, time for another snack :) (they are difinitely MY CHILDREN) 

 Thumbs up for Moon Pies :)

Looks like some serious thought went into eating those goldfish...

We stayed until almost 6 o'clock.  It was an AMAZING afternoon!!! We stopped for a photo op on the way out... there were a few takes, then I gave up...lol

What a great great place to have so close to home.  We just LOVE coming here.  I can't wait until its warm enough to have family picnics out here every week again!!!
