Picnic, the Park and the Lake

Today was one of those days when you realize why we live in Florida. It was absolutely gorgeous partly cloud, low humidity and 80 degrees. Lisa decided to get a bunch of our friends together to have a picnic at the park. Here we are having our picnic: Me, Lisa and the kids, Natasha and Jacob, Tasha and Danielle, Larissa and AJ and Natalie, Abigail and Ethan. Danielle

After having our picnic and playing at the park we decided to head across the street to the lake. We pulled out the blankets and had an awesome time chatting and taking in the beautiful landscape. The kids were just incredible. We actually got compliments from people walking by that they were so impressed that the kids just stayed on the blanket and played. It was nice because the kids played and the ladies could all talk without having to run around chasing the kids :-)
Kaitlyn took this picture of me. It's hard to see but Ava ended up falling asleep so I layed her down on the blanket and she slept almost the whole time.
What a fun and perfect day! Let's do it again girls!

Emily,
I am so jealous. Our weather has been so miserable for over a week now. I wish we lived in Florida. Ah well maybe someday. lol

You seem to be such an awesome mentor to other moms, Emily! God has definitely called you to be where you are.

Laura . . . don't worry . . . in another month or so it will be so hot here that it feels like a sauna as soon as you walk out the door . . at the time I will be jealous of the lovely weather you all will be having!

Thanks for your words Diann! :-)
