Lake Murray

The boys and I had a lot of fun going to Lake Murray with some friends last week.  We took a picnic lunch and sand toys and played on the beach there for a few hours.  Alden loved playing the sand and splashing around in the water with his friends.  Anders had a great time playing in the sand and really enjoyed playing and splashing in the water.

It was a very hot day, so I was really glad that we were somewhere with water and a little bit of shade.  The water was more warm than cold but it still felt good and helped combat the feeling of over heating.  The lake was nice with plenty of fish to see, but I think that I liked the beach more than the lake.  It was a great, sandy beach that the kids loved playing on.

The boys enjoyed their picnic lunch while we rested a little in the shade.

This was Anders attitude most of the day.  He wanted to go out further in the water.

Anders loved playing the sand and he really liked throwing and moving the sand around with this rake.

Alden enjoyed getting water to help his friend so they could build things with the sand.

Anders loved playing in the water.

Anders had no fear and was happy to walk around in the lake.  The water was actually really warm and there were little fish swimming around everywhere.

Both boys had a great time at the lake and I am glad that we went somewhere new!
