Herb Parsons

One Sunday afternoon in August, Justin told me about Herb Parsons Lake. He said it was beautiful and only 10 minutes away from our home! Sometimes he and his buddies would bike on the trails out there, but I had never been there before. So after naps on that breezy Sunday, we packed a picnic dinner, loaded the kids and Kramer in the car, and headed to Herb Parsons.

We decided to just take a hike on the trail that leads around the lake.

James LOVED walking on the trail and just doing his own thing.

Of course, we went at a snail's pace because he had to stop and look at every little interesting thing he saw! He had so much fun. (And got so many mosquito bites!)

Reese had a good time too!

She just chilled in our arms or in the front carrier.

Loving the outdoors :)

Justin said we should do this EVERY Sunday afternoon!

(It hasn't happened yet, but maybe once our busy football season comes to a close. Go Eagles!!)

Kramer LOVED being there with us. He got to stay off leash quite a bit.

James had fun throwing rocks in the lake.

Such a pretty area :)

We could go a little faster when James rode on Justin's shoulders!

Boy, James loves his Daddy!

Yumm! There's nothing like a good PBJ sandwich after hiking!

Before we left, Justin threw Kramer's favorite football into the lake so he could retrieve it! I think Kramer could have done this for hours. James sat in Justin's lap the whole time and watched Kramer have a good time :)

I just love family time! Can't wait to do this again!
