My Little Trooper

It was an absolutely gorgeous day here today. Almost too hot for my liking, but perfect for a swim in the lake, which is exactly what we did!

We didn’t intend originally to swim in the lake, we went there to do the loop walk around the lake as we do almost every weekday, and to pick blackberries for a cobbler, along the way. But there were so many people there swimming and looking like they were having such a good time, that I couldn’t help myself, and I made the impulsive decision to get in as well. We found a secluded, sunny, sandy little beach, right off the trail, slathered on some more sunscreen, and waded in.

No, we didn’t have our swimsuits, because, as I said, we didn’t intend to go swimming. So, Lindsay swam in her diaper, and I swam in my clothes! It was pretty fun to just wade into the water fully clothed. It was a little cold at first, but Lindsay was awesome and didn’t even care. Once she got used to it, she splashed around and we chased floating pinecones and sticks, and bubbles coming up from the bottom of the lake as I walked……it was a blast! When we got out, her diaper was HUGE! It’s amazing how much liquid those things will hold! I highly recommend the Huggies Cruisers. They’re our favorite. :) We never did pick berries for our cobbler…..have to do that this weekend!

Later, Barney’s boss sent everyone home early because it was so nice out, so we all went down to the lake here in Sudden Valley (different than the one we swam in earlier today) and had a nice BBQ/picnic.

What a lovely day. I wish every day could be like this. We need to win the lottery. ;)

    What a perfect day!!! Isn’t it fun to do something impulsive??

    After running on the beach yesterday, I took off my shoes a waded in the cool water for a bit. Heavenly.

    Love and hugs!
