Lake Picnic

Oh, how I love summer!! The warm weather, relaxing times, cute clothes... :) Each week Chris and I try to do at least one special thing together. Usually, we try to make it a date night, but sometimes it is a date afternoon. We vehemently stick to our budget, so we have to be creative!

A week or so ago, it was a particularly beautiful day, and I decided that we should have a picnic at the lake. I packed up our usual lunch staples - MEAT sandwich for the man, pretzels, fruit, drinks, fudge and mints. I also threw in some old bread that I had saved for feeding the ducks. Did I mention that ducks are my favorite animals? LOVE them!



I looooove feeding the ducks! Technically, you're not supposed to, because it makes them dependent on humans, etc. etc. but I don't care. Personally, I think they do just fine.





We laid out on the dock for a while, and watched the clouds. It was so peaceful and wonderful!



To cool off, we dangled our feet in the cool water. Chris enjoyed the fact that his sandals floated.



All in all, a wonderful time with my wonderful hubby! I'm so glad that we make time for these things- they are definitely essential to our marriage. We get so busy sometimes, and it's great to force ourselves to sit back and enjoy the fact that God has brought us together and created something beautiful. :)
