Gull Lake

Today we left home bright and early to adventure out to Gull Lake and meet up with friends! We had to first stop in town for gas and snacks.

I am so thankful to have children who are old enough to navigate the grocery store and pay while I gas up. It made our morning go so much smoother and I was impressed with the choices they made. I gave them a loose list to follow with a few different ideas. We were essentially having a picnic lunch at the lake and needed things like cheese buns, pepperoni sticks, and chips. They tried to choose the best prices and did a great job!

When we showed up at the lake there was hardly anyone there. We loaded the wagon and headed towards the beach to claim a spot on the sand.

The children enjoyed wading out into the water while we waited for our friends.

With the smoke and cloud cover, I didn't think much about putting sunscreen on the children. The boys were fine with their swim shirts, but poor Lily ended up with a bit of a burn on her back. When we were done at the lake I stripped her down into her diaper and loaded her in the car where she happily slept the entire hour drive home.

In the evening we were joined by our good friends the Wolseys! We discovered these two girlies had matching dino jammies, which was pretty stinkin' cute! 

After putting the littles to bed we had a really nice visit. It had been too long!
