Saturday, a little over a week ago...we randomly decided to make a little trip out to a lake near our house. I had no intention of taking the dogs but right before we went to leave, Nathan was like "let's take the dogs!"
So we loaded up the kids (Ruy wasn't with us that weekend or week) and the dogs and headed to the lake!
The dogs were so terrified of the water!
They didn't want to get in at first but Nathan helped them in and once they got in they loved it!
We stayed about 2 hours and just enjoyed the water and splashing. We'll definitely be going back!
I'm sure the more we take the dogs to the water, the more used to it they will get and eventually be jumping into it on their own.
I won't be taking them without this man though....two big dogs are way to much for me to handle without his help :)
Then a few days later, I took the kids to one of our favorite parks. It was overcast and so a little cooler than the 95 degree days we'd been having.
We walked along the water and saw butterflies, threw away plastic that was laying around, and got our feet wet.
We found tons of frogs and toads.
There was one spot where tons of little frogs were everywhere we looked.
Jude found some feathers he loved and said they were" tiger bird feathers" because of the stripes on them.
We found clams, and also a pretend fire pit someone had made. We pretended we were camping in the woods and made clam soup, rock soup, and pinecone soup.
It was definitely my favorite time at this park we've ever had before and we've been going to this park probably 1-4x a month for about 11 years. I love being out in nature with my kids and just learning and exploring with them.
