Our Sunday outing

I have a ton of photos so I'll do this one in a two day post. :) Don't want to bore you all. 

Yesterday we took the kids to St Joe State Park. They have a small beach area there with a man made lake. Now, I'm NO fan of lakes, the thought of not knowing what is swimming around me makes me want to gag, but I sucked it up and we went. I was so glad that we did. The kids had a blast. They would go up on the sand/pebbles and run and then splash into the water. Jack was the funniest, he wouldn't make it very far into the water before he would plop down on his bottom. They collected pebbles and "sea shells" and I think we'll keep collecting them for the rest of the summer then put them in their own little jars for them to keep. I took a ton of photos, they built sand castles and just had a great time. 

The only down side, last summer the beach actually had sand on it, this summer they had moved in some sort of pebble/sand mix and it HURT our feet. HURT.... the kids didn't care, but hubby and I complained the whole time. :)
