Back to the Lake We Go

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The boys had fun playing at North Lake two times last week, so we headed back there again yesterday. It worked out well because I needed to make a commissary run in the morning, so that helped use up our time before the lake opened at 11. It was an overcast day yesterday, but plenty warm to be in the water.

Fun in the Sun

It was an absolutely beautiful day yesterday. It was the warmest day we've had so far. Both boys were out in our little pool by 9am.

We came inside and had a little snack while watching the movie WALL-E. We checked it our from the library last week and have watched it no less than 100 times since then. I think it's so funny that Brennan loves it so much. I love it too! Don't let the picture fool you. Bryce is sitting still for this picture, but was up and down off the couch about a million times. That kid does not sit still for long!

We ended up eating an early lunch. Brennan helped me fix a homemade pizza. The plan was to head to the local splash pad at 11. We got swim clothes back on and headed that way a little after 11 only to discover that it was closed for some reason today. We were already dressed for the water, so we just headed back to North Lake again. I didn't have any sand toys packed this time, but we made it work. Bryce was a little grouchy and ready for a nap, so we didn't stay too long. Brennan had a great time again.

We came home and both boys laid right down for their naps. I did a T25 workout and then took a little nap too. Last night Brennan had a little end of year celebration with his church choir. Afterwards it was home for bedtime for the boys and "So You Think You Can Dance" time for Momma!

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!
