Impromptu Family Outing

Today turned out to be really great!!!!

I called Mom while I was out running to the grocery store and we decided that I would drive over to her house and we would ride over to a park close to her house.

When I got to her house my two older brothers were there and decided they would ride along too. When all was said and done it ended up being me and my kids, my older brother Chris, my older brother Jamie and his two boys, my mom, my younger brother C.J., my mom's neighbor and her son. We had a blast just hanging out and picnicking!!!!

On the ride over to the park my mom stopped and bought burgers and tons of snacks and we pretty much hung out for most of the day.

The older boys walked the trails and explored and my kids were delighted to play on an unfamiliar playground and feed the ducks and fish in the pond.

I took some pictures...most of them weren't that great because nobody was really cooperating with my picture taking but I wanted to post a few. I really like the one of Mom and Riley. My mom looks like she is hanging on Riley's every word. This is how she always looks at my kids and I am so glad I was able to catch it without her knowing. She shies away from pictures but she didn't know I got this one from across the pavilion.

Like I said most of the other pictures I took weren't that great and the rest of the time I was chasing kids so I had to hang up my attempts after a while but not before getting a pretty good one of an adorable family of ducks as well.

I hope everyone else got to get out and enjoy this beautiful day as well!!!!
