To change things up a bit..Kara, Julie and I took our kiddos to Kellseyville to go to County Park to play during our long Labor Day holiday weekend. The park is at the lake so they have a beach area and then a great playset for kids. Of Course my kids wanted to swim...but No Way was I going to let them in that yucky water. Clearlake is not Clear! It is full of seaweed and muck! And the smell...I won't even go there. It is very low and I guess that is why it has some problems.
So the kids played on the playset for awhile until the "landscapers" came...Then they "helped" them gather the branches they were cutting off the trees. They had so much fun putting them in one big pile.. Who knew a bunch of branches would keep 7 kids busy for such a big chunk of time.
I realized..Kids don't need toys...they just need the outdoors...lots of things to play with out there...Branches, Leaves, Sticks, bugs, water, etc...
Christmas will be easy this year!!!!
After the park we had lunch at a great Sandwich shop. It was a fun day with the kiddos. Of course they got a little crazy...but us Mommies sure enjoy getting together. It is more for us then the kids...shhh that is our little secret!
Gathering Branches...
