A picnic at the river

We are not very good at being city people.  We try hard but we sometimes needs to escape the hustle and bustle that goes around us and just escape into nature.  Today was one of those days.  We just needed to go to the river and just hang out.  We avoided the people climbed into the water so we could just hide away from everyone and just enjoy nature.  The kids had fun throwing rocks, I had fun dangling my toes into the water while reading a book.  Then they all enjoyed floating on the stream as it carried them like a slide further down the river. So happy that John suggested we go to the river and have a picnic.

Today was also my dad's birthday!  So in my mind we also had a picnic to celebrate his birthday.  The kids were very excited to know that it was Grandpa's birthday today!
