A family day

Yesterday, was a lovely family day.

We putzed around the house in the morning and then went swimming in the afternoon.

It was just us at the pool which was nice.




I think the kids LoVe it when Daddy is at the pool to play with.




Sissy is trying to master the backwards backflip. She is really getting good at it. Brother tried to do it and then did a back flop which hurt his back and then he was done with it. :)




Since Daddy didn't have to work last night we decided to take advantage of the beautiful evening and we went to a beautiful little park that we found a couple weeks ago. It is actually an old mill.

It is a beautiful place to go to.





There is a little creek-runoff thing that goes from the pond area down to the actual creek. The kids had fun wading and skipping rocks.

Dada was nervous at first. She thought she might fall.



But Daddy came and helped her cross and she was just fine after that.




She tried to cross in her flip flops. It didn't quite work out!! :)



We saw a little girl who caught a HUGE toad. I'm surprised that Brother didn't ask her if he could have it. I had NEVER saw a toad that big. Her cousin also caught a turtle.






There were all kinds of crawfish in the creek. They would hide in between all the rocks when they saw us coming.

Hunny tried to catch 1 to show the kids.

But didn't quite get it.

Some of them were HUGE!

I had never seen a crawfish before. I thought they lived more in the south.



I love this picture of Dada.



I told also LoVe this picture!




So that was our day. I really enjoyed our time at the park. Although there were other people there, it was very peaceful and relaxing.
