Barb had to return to work today. So, we wanted to do something fun and easy when she returned in the afternoon. We made plans to head down to the lake and swim, relax and grill some burgers. We also loaded the kayaks and took them along too. Jen and I had all the picnic stuff ready to go when Barb returned home. She mentioned more than once how enjoyable it was to have the food all packed and ready!
Barb's son Travis and his two boys also joined us. It's always a fun and active time when little Tucker and his big brother Logan are visiting.
Here is Tucker with his sand castle that he and Barb built....
Of course Logan and Eric got right down to the serious activity of fishing. If they got paid for fishing I think they could have funded our trip out west! An added adventure that they both enjoyed was fishing from the kayaks. Here is a short video clip when they launched the kayaks and headed on a fishing adventure together...
I grilled the burgers after the boys got back from their kayaking. We had watermelon, chips and pickles to go with the burgers.
Barb and I also took the opportunity to have a sunset kayak ride together. The lake was very calm and a beautiful evening was settling in....
Back at the house we sat and talked for a bit and Barb & Jen worked on their puzzle for a little while. Then we turned on the TV and watched a couple episodes of Family Feud. The channel was having a Family Feud marathon. I made it through two of the episodes. When I headed in to go to bed I could still hear the TV. I drifted off to sleep still trying to come up with answers!
Sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon. This ol' worry-wort mother hen sure hoped those boys had life jackets on.. :O)
