A Day at the Lake

The other day Blaubeere called about getting together - we decided to get together at one of the near by lakes. 

So we each brought some stuff and got together for a picnic.  We picked out a picnic table and got all our stuff out.

Lunch was nice, even if some of the kids were a bit impatient to get lunch over and get in the water.

Soon enough, though, everyone was done eating and on to getting ready to getting into the water.

Some may have rushed things a bit.  What can you say?

The rest of the time was spent splashing about like fish and having a good time.  Kids and water - they never get tired of it.

It was a perfect day, not too hot, not too cool, not too windy, a good time to play and relax.

After a while we got the kayaks out and everybody that wanted got out on the water, paddling around to their heart's content.

After time out on the kayaks, everyone was happy enough to get back in the water and play.

We were there probably around four or five hours before it was finally time to be heading home.  But it was a good time, plenty of time to enjoy each other's company, play, and relax at the lake.  It was a good time, especially during this spring and summer where the stupid pandemic and kept us all in doors, and away from everyone else.  Sometimes its amazing how much you come to miss the simple little act of being out and about.  It was a good time.
