Best Lunch Date And Warm Afternoon

80 some degrees in February called for meeting up with Brad for a park lunch date! Almost every day he eats his lunch (usually soup) in the office, many times even at his desk. When we found out it was going to be such a beautiful day we just had to get out and enjoy it, and wanted to enjoy it as much as we could as a whole family!

So after a much-needed grocery run to Kroger. (And getting to see the Oscar Myer Wiener truck! AKA "Big Hot Dog Truck")  We headed home to quickly pack up sandwiches for lunch.

We picked up Brad and went to a park at the lake very close to his office. And boy were we in for a treat! We had not been there before, and had just seen that there was a park on Google maps.

Not only is there a lake, but you can swim in it! (When its warmer of course!) Then we checked out a pier nearby (there is also a marina) and then headed to a fun playground. They had HUGE slides (that is Makin's happy face after he went down one by himself) and lots of other great features. We did not get to stay nearly long enough and will definitely go there again and try and stay longer.

After getting home we changed into shorts, played outside, napped, had an ice cream treat before playing outside the rest of the afternoon (Makin was loooving golfing today. If he keeps this up we are all set for mini-golf this summer! Not to mention the two men in our family convincing us to go on a golf family vacations. ;) Lorelei was the announcer. Can't figure out if she picked that up from the little golf/football she has watched with Brad or if they had it on one of her shows.) and then of course had to grill out for supper!

Wonderful, wonderful day. Love it.
