Cold Water & Strawberries

Weekend fun! My little Farmer's Market buddies were happy to roll out of bed at 7:30 on Saturday. I am so glad they get excited about healthy food....at least most of the time. LOL

 Gotta have fresh flowers.

 The water is still on the cold side, but we're having fun anyway...even Isaiah.

 Chillin'

Silly Girly.

 Milk gut.

 Guess who got daddy's keys?

When its wet you can see he got curly hair, must be from daddy's side of the family. 

"Let's Go Fly a Kite"

This has been a really wonderful Resurrection Sunday. We attended early service at church this morning and we sang some of our favorite hymns and you could just hear the rejoicing in the voices of the congregation. I was told the sermon was good, but I was busy in the nursing mothers room with the two boys. (I met some other moms though!) After church we had a lunch made up from several farmer's market purchases from yesterday followed by a truly unhealthy, but yummy lemon cheesecake. Shortly after noon we were on our way to enjoy this perfect weather at Frank Liske park. We really, really like that place! Aaron had bought the kids new kites and the wind was just right. I've never had such luck with kites. Aaron even had our big butterfly kite up rounghly 400 feet! Lots of fun and laughter! After a walk around the lake we saw the paddle boats were operating. Suited up in life jackets we boarded a sparkly red boat built for five. (I wish I had pictures, but my phone was dead at the time.) Aaron and the older two peddled around for a while, but we had no sooner left the dock than we had to turn around. Boating is not Isaiah's idea of fun! Actually, it was the life jacket that irritated him, but the sound of crying was really disturbing the otherwise peaceful lake. Back on shore with a cracker in each hand and he was his jolly self again. :-) It was great to see such family friendly rates. I can't wait to try it again, but we won't ask Isaiah to venture out for some time.

Park Day

We found the nicest park today! The first couple pictures are from this morning when I took the kids up to play. I was so excited to find a group of moms with little ones at the park too. A couple were even home school mamas and invited me to two different co-op activities. I think we're on the fast track to new friends. Rebecca was thrilled to find a playmate her age, though she is still missing all her little girlfriends in Evansville. ( Me too!) Tonight I had dinner ready when Aaron walked in the door so that we would have time to get back to the park. We took the road to the left this time and found a beautiful lake, some nature trails and babbling creeks! There is so much to do and I can't even guess at the number of perfectly mowed green acres. Soccer fields, baseball diamonds, mini gold, paddle boats, sand volleyball, shelters, a barn for rent, tennis courts, four play grounds, walking trails, nature trails, 2 mile jogging track, and fitness course. I see lots of time spent here in the future!

 Rebecca can't wait to paddle boat this summer!

 You can see one of the many shelters in this picture.

 Working those little legs.

 Is there a prettier sound or more peaceful than a creek?
