gone fishin'

Last weekend we had a bout of beautiful weather (thank goodness) so Sunday afternoon we took full advantage. We packed a picnic dinner and headed over to the lake for some fishin'. The kids just love this, and honestly, so do I. It was so nice to get outdoors for a chance. I can't wait for spring.

After dinner and some fishin', we headed to the park for some Olympic sized relay races. Miss C has been studying the Olympics in school and loves to talk about it. So we timed her as she started from one end of the playground, up the ladder, across the bridge, down to a deck, up the tower and down the slide. Her best time was around 18.5 seconds. We were all pretty impressed. She learned that alternating your feet while climbing the ladder shaves off a good 5-6 seconds.

The other day, Little J was talking about that weekend and fondly remembered that he went fishing in the ocean and pooped in the bushes. Yes, nature called for both kids in the 1 1/2 hours that we were there. Good times.
