Hittin' the Rock

Last week Sage and I took six (6!!!) kids up to Picnic rock for a full day of splashing, relaxing, and snacking. The weather was beautiful, our chairs were comfy, and the kids were great. It reminded me so much of hitting Huntington Reservoir with my mom when I was little. All we needed was some Tab, some lounge chairs, and some baby oil (to work on our sweet tans, of course).

Keeler kickin' it in his cute, cute hat.
Climbing trees with the kids.

How I spent about 75% of the day. Sweeeeet.

Showing off their Tootsie Pops. I guess great minds think alike because, let's just say that Sage and I both brought the kids all kinds of usually-contraband treats like suckers and Twinkers--I mean Twinkies. (Having never consumed the most shelf-stable of all foods before this day, all of our deprived children were calling them Twinkers!)
Milo exploring the river.

Beckett just chillin' on the chair.

Helping Isabel to search for a lost "fish" from the end of her fishing pole.

Isabel showing off the remains of her Twinker.


In theory, those little toy fishing poles are a great idea. In reality, four toy fishing poles being flung about is a recipe for the biggest tangled mess of your life. Then, repeat said tangle 20 minutes later.
Eating lunch (and a little bit of sand) on the rocky shore.

We heart summer.

That looks like so much fun! Thanks for the Keeler pics. They change so quickly. How was your March of Dimes walk? I thought about you while I was running my almost 12 miles. I was hoping you had better weather than I did. Enjoy some of that sun for me.
