North Lake

Tuesday morning I had a dentist appointment. The boys had a blast playing with Mackenzie. When I got back home, we got packed up and headed to North Lake. It's a manmade lake located on the sub base here. It's free which is super nice since most of the beaches charge for parking. Plus it's super clean, chlorinated water, and there are lifeguards on duty.

I was hoping it would go okay with taking both boys by myself and they did great. Bryce was a little apprehensive of the water at first, which surprised me because he's such a water baby. Brennan really enjoyed getting in the lake and splashing. Once Bryce got more comfortable, he liked it too. He mainly sat in very shallow water and dug with a shovel; while drinking from two sippy cups!

I wish it opened before 11am, but we will certainly be heading back to the lake again soon!

We came home afterwards for naps and then decided to head out again for a little ice cream before dinner. Hey it is (almost) summer! After Brennan and I had our froyo up on the scale, I realized I had left my wallet at home. I was dreading having to drag both boys out of the store without ice cream, but thankfully a stranger paid for our ice cream. I kept telling her thank you and even said, "God bless!" She was so nice and asked if we were from the area and asked if we attended a church. It was nice to meet a kind stranger and get to talk about our churches together. The boys and I will definitely be paying it forward to a stranger this week!
