Family Picnic

As part of our Memorial Day weekend, we packed up a picnic lunch and drove to a local fishing spot called Motts Reservoir. While it was still pretty hot and muggy, we lucked out and got a picnic table in the shade - and with the trees surrounding us, we enjoyed a light breeze as well. It's a nice place! We've heard about it for some time now and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to finally go. Our family loves nature - and spots like these really remind me of HOME!

Besides a toddler having a potty accident, a toddler wanting to kill any bug she saw (even after explaining that the outside is the BUG'S environment!), a younger toddler trying any chance he could to get up and close to the water and a preteen not enjoying the quiet outdoors and playing in the dirt with sticks...our picnic went without a hitch! :) I'm so glad my kids had a good time though.
