Picnic

We decided to have a Saturday picnic at Huntsville state park. All did not go according to plan. 1st - I was planning on doing a lake swim, however there was lake scum (yuck), and the swimming area was way to small to do anything. Swimming was a no-go! Oh yeah, did I mention I went in my trisuit (to give it a try... yeah that was a bad joke), and I looked absolutely silly. 2nd - We wanted to rent a boat and take the boys out for a ride, oops, it was 10am and already 100 degrees and the thought of paddling around for an hour - not fun. Boat was a no-go! 3rd - Make a campfire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows. Well, we failed to bring firewood, that's okay, we'll just collect it (nope, no collecting firewood), Fire was a no-go!

Luckily someone had the foresight to think to bring the Coleman grill (yep that was me, I know, I'm shocked too!) Instead of making it a wasted trip we decided that we would just have an early (very early) lunch. We still tried to make it campfire style (with the weapons, er, hotdog roasters). In the end we just put the dogs on the grill, but we had fun trying to roast them.

                                                     Sharp pointy objects & boys... sigh!

                             Wasn't it a pretty day! And despite the heat, the shade was really nice. 

So all didn't go acording to plan, but it was still a good day!
