Folsom Lake

Last Saturday was literally the only Saturday until December that we don't have something going on. So we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and do something fun as a family. So after early naps, we packed up a picnic dinner and took the kids to Folsom Lake. The weather was PERFECT for an afternoon at the beach and the water was still relatively warm.


The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and they are all so confident in the water now which makes it so much easier.


There was also a good chunk of time taken up by playing in the mud. They were COVERED in mud by the end and had so much fun.


Another highlight of the day, was when Steve and Molly caught two frogs. Garrett was so intrigued by them and we had a rather hilarious conversation about it:
Garrett: "Those are pretend frogs"
Amy: "No they're not, Garrett. They're real."
Garrett: "But they're not hopping!"
Amy: "I know... they're just resting right now. But they're real."
Garrett: "Ooooooooh... they're REAL frogs. Just dead."


And Steve and I tried to get a picture of the two of us since we never seem to be in photos together. Unfortunately his camera phone accidentally got switched to black & white. Oh well... I'm still happy I didn't have to bring my big camera and risk getting sand in it!
