Family Day @ the Lake Murray

Dad had the greatest idea for our Sunday family day...a day at the lake. It was gorgeous weather, not too hot and FREE! How great is it to spend quality time together with little money. So, we ran to get the cooler filled up with drinks & ice...Mom packed up a little lunch & we loaded the van & off we went. We got there around 11AM - found a spot - although it was a great location we had to settle for an afternoon of listening to Mexican Rock music behind us (there was a family reunion going on)! HHAHAHAHAH!

But, it made for a great day of fun. The kids loved the water! I, however, enjoyed the water but not all the rocks I kept stubbing my toes into! Dad lost his Oakley sunglasses - but were retrieved by some kids swimming next to us! It was a miracle that they found them under the water! We started out with sunblock 50 cuz those of you that have had the priveledge of seeing my white legs know that I don't do heat & sun! We should've re-applied though cuz by 3 1/2 hours later when it was time to load up - we were pretty red! Now, 3 days later - Sophie & I are suffering the most - pretty burnt up & sore to the touch backs!! Thank God for aloe vera gel with lidocaine - it does make it bareable!
