Fun Family Time

This last week we decided to go & have a family picnic. We stopped by the store on our way out of town & picked up some fried chicken & Jojo's & some cookies. Then we headed up to Mud Mountain Dam. But we we got all the way up there (about a fifteen minute drive) the gate was closed but the sign said that it didn't close for another 45 minutes. AGGGGG... how frustrating. Anyway, we decided to hit another great place, Deep Lake. It has a wonderful playground & a big lake to swim in. We found a picnic table & ate dinner together.

After dinner the girls decided to "just" put their feet in the water. (it was discovered by Kiersten that there was a boy from her school there & it would have been way to embarrassing to get into her bathing suit. Gosh mom!!)
The clouds were beautiful that night.

I love when we are able to go & do a family activity. It's a rare night that Eric is able to be home in time to go somewhere for dinner. We love how had he works but wish that he was home a little earlier in the evening so we could go & do this sort of thing more often.
