Fresh air, dirt, and miracles

Begrudgingly, Chris and I took our kids to the lake this weekend. We love the lake just not when it is cold and rainy and yard work is SERIOUSLY calling our name. Chris and I both squeezed in workouts right before we left to prepare us mentally and physically for a whole weekend of family time!

In fact, when we got to Wal-Mart my legs were so sore from running I could hardly walk. I even thought about grabbing the battery-powered buggy (just kidding, I probably couldn't figure out how to drive it) but waddled through instead.

We arrived and unloaded just in time to watch a movie and go to sleep.

Yes we woke to a cold and rainy day. We were going to have to be creative.

What to do when it's cold and rainy at the lake? You can drive the golf cart around and around and around, which we did:

Will driving...

Hanna Driving!

Let me give you a hint...when you tell an 8 and 10 year old to stop. They STOP. On a dime. I have a sore neck to prove it. Otherwise it was quite an enjoyable adventure. Zac rode on the back covered in blankets. Thank God he hasn't requested to drive. Requested for Zac means jumping up and down with a bobbing head while screaming, "I want ____!"

We fished. Zac hooked himself within 10 seconds of getting the fishing pole in his hands. Can you imagine why there are no pictures of our excursion?

We watched more movies and to cap our night off the kids wallowed in a big, huge dirt pile...

Yes, look closely they are actually being nice to each other! Fresh air and dirt do amazing things.
