Tyler State Park

 We decided to play hooky from all responsibilities in the middle of the week!  It was WoNdeRFul!!  Tyler State Park is only 1.5 hrs away from us, and it is beautiful.  We pretty much had the lake to ourselves.  We hiked around the lake first and followed that up with a delicious picnic packed by my most wonderful husband!

After that it was time to get ready to swim!  Julianna in her Olympic Synchronized Swimming Suit makes me smile every time I see it.  She is So very cute!! And Julianna LOVES the water!  She could swim (or take a bath) all day long every day!

 And there is her adorable little wave!

 Dryden is scared of the water (compliments of an unfortunate swimming trip with Allison).  He spent his time on the steps dipping water out of the lake one bucket at a time!

It was a wonderful day!  And even better...we were home in time to leave the kids home while Brent and I went out by ourselves for a while!
