Super Angie...picnics, space chimps and a rainy day

everyone is enjoying our sandwhiches and the great outdoors!

Tan grazed off everyone's lunch!

Yesterday, before Rick left, we enjoyed a family picnic in River Run. We got sandwhiches at InkSpot (REALLY YUMMY!) and enjoyed sitting under a bright yellow umbrella. Our log chairs were very comfy and we really could have stayed there all day had we not had a schedule! :( The wild flowers were gorgeous--so many vivid colors. It was just nice to be together, relax and have fun as a family. River Run is such a cute little village...

Everyone was very sad to see Rick leave though. Dallin hugged him a million times and started crying as he left. Tanith pitched a fit when she woke from her nap and found daddy missing. Poor Tan. 

This morning, the kids and I took a walk to the lake, played at the playground and enjoyed walking home a different route. The air here smells so good...forest and berries mixed together. Its just lovely. The kids played at the playground by the lake and had fun pretending one play set was a pirate ship. The other set looks like an old stage coach which of course was fun too. Tanith enjoyed the swings a lot. I enjoyed being their mom! The lake had some boaters on it already, which was fun to watch. I carried Tan in the backpack and got a good little workout from it.

After Tan's nap, we went swimming. She didn't like the pool, but had fun on the lounge chairs, which was fine. Brennan felt more secure in his life vest, and so did I! Poor kid has had too many close calls in the pool. We both were able to enjoy it more this way! Dallin loved his inner tube.

Suddenly the skies got VERY dark and it started raining, so we went back inside and ate some lunch. Tanith didn't want to sleep, so we ran some errands, including to Target to get some new lawn chairs for the deck..LOVE 'EM! :) 

Finally, in the evening, we went to see Space Chimps. Well, I should say, the boys watched Space Chimps, and I watched Tanith run around in the lobby of the theater. Everyone had a good time though, which is all that matters. :) It was a pretty good day--even with the rain!
