Lunch at the Lake with GG

Last week Brody came into my room and said, "Can we please go eat lunch with GG today?  I haven't seen her in forever and I really want to go see her!"  She was gone running errands that day, so we decided to go one day this week.  Brody was excited yesterday when I told him the day had finally arrived to go eat lunch with GG.  Since it was such a beautiful day, Namaw and I decided to pick up some burgers and shakes from Brahms so we could have a picnic at the lake behind GG's retirement home.  The food was yummy...

and the views of the lake were gorgeous!

After we ate we decided to walk around the lake to an area that had a more gradual slope down to the water.  The boys wanted desperately to get close enough to touch the water and throw rocks in...and I was afraid they'd fall down the hill and land in the water if we stayed by the picnic tables!

There was a nice swing to sit in and watch Brody & Barrett as they threw rocks into the lake.

 

Brody and Barrett took turns pushing GG and Namaw in the swing.

Looking for the perfect rock to skip.

Hi!  I was here too!  :)

GG really enjoyed talking with the boys.  There was a breeze blowing and it was such a relaxing afternoon.  If the boys hadn't started pouring dirt on each other, we might have stayed out there until dinner time!

I was very thankful that neither of them fell into the lake...but we didn't make it back to GG's apartment dry.  On our walk back to her apartment, Brody ran to jump in a puddle and his feet slipped out from under him.  He landed on his bottom and then his back.  The puddle soaked him from his neck to his shoes!  Thankfully he laughed about it instead of cried.  We all laughed about how he stayed dry at the lake but got drenched by a puddle in the parking lot!

GG gave him a towel to dry off with and we headed to Sissie's apartment for a visit.  We were disappointed when she didn't hear us (I think she was taking her afternoon nap).  Barrett tried looking under her door to see if he could see her and he called out, "Sissie!!!" over and over. 

 

All too soon it was time to head home.
