state park

After a busy week for us it was awesome to have our Monday together. Andy and I cherish this day. On Friday I’m already thinking about our Monday. So today we took a trip to a State Park that is about a 40 minute drive from our house. We went there before we had children and I don’t know why we haven’t been back until today. It’s beautiful. Not too crowded…especially on a weekday. The lake is there, a picnic area, hiking trails, and best of all {for the boys} a historic fort!

This was the bumper sticker off someone’s car. Don’t we all need to do this: wag more, bark less. Ha!

 

The usual picture of my boys being so excited to have their picture made…as in look at the camera and smile.

Ah, the three amigos.

  This little guy is all about his daddy.

 

Andy showed Wyatt how to eat a honey suckle. Don’t you remember doing this as a kid? They smell sooooo delicious and the little tiny taste of sweetness just makes you want more.  

Wyatt getting ready to eat his honey suckle. Love the binoculars…you never know when you might need them.

Wyatt literally picked this flower for me. I mean he got the root and all. He’s so proud. Two peas in a pod.

Boone was saying, “cheeeeeese”. He was pretending to take pictures with the binoculars.

I know I am not the first person who thought of this but when we go for a picnic or to the Zoo, etc. I wrap our sandwiches in wax paper and then when you unfold them it makes a little placemat.

The squirrels were insane. I am sure they have been fed so much human food that they are not at all anxious about coming right up to you. They kept coming up to us and then I got a little freaked out they would bite. And have rabies or something.

Family picture. And a cute smile from the little boys.
