when its too warm... head to the lake.

We had a lot of fun visiting a few parks last week and going for some walks 

around our neighborhood. A few days were a bit too warm for comfort 

{I also happen to NOT be fitting into any of my shorts yet} 

so on this particular day, we ventured to a park by the lake, 

in the hopes that would make it a cooler visit :) 

    At first I thought they were looking at the lake... then I saw the ducks!

   The Mommy duck was hissing at us when we tried to get close, so we kept our distance.

    I explained to the kids that she's just protecting her babies

and Rachel said, "oh! like how you get mad at strangers when they 

try to touch Miles on his face or get too close to him without asking?" 

Yes... exactly :) 

 the kids relaxed at the water's edge while I used a bench and nursed Miles. 

It was such a beautiful day.
