Memorial Day Picnic

For the past couple of years, the kids and I have gone to Laura Walker Park for a picnic on Memorial Day.  We continued that tradition this year.  Hannah and the girls came with us last year, but Hannah had to work on Memorial Day this year.  Gigi was keeping her girls, so she brought them for the picnic instead.  We had sandwiches, bananas, chips, and granola bars.  While Gigi and I set up the picnic area, the kids played on the playground.








 After eating lunch, the kids wanted to go down to the lake.  Last year the kids did not want to do much in the water because it's not clear.  This year was a different story.  They played in the swimming area of that lake and had so much fun.   There were quite a few other kids in the lake that day, so they had plenty of playmates.  It wasn't long before they struck up a game of "Marco Polo".  There were also several boats / skiers out.  Whenever a boat would pass the swimming area, it would create a wake.  The kids got really excited when the wakes came.  They would run out and jump or body surf the little waves.  Needless to say, the lake was a hit.


 Julianna thinks that she is as big as the other kids and tried to go out in the lake, but she was just not tall enough.  She ended up having fun by "floating" (laying on her back) in the lake and by trying to splash Gigi.
