Picnic and Swim

Brian and I decided it would be fun to get out of the house yesterday. So we went to Miracle Hot Springs for a picnic and swimming.

We ate our picnic lunch first. We has fried chicken, potato salad, chips, and rolls. Lunch was yummy, but it got interrupted when the sprinklers came on to water the grass around our table. It soaked me, the kids and some of the food. It was a mad rush to get all of the food and kids packed up before we got even more wet!

At Miracle, they have 3 alligators. I have been telling Tobyn about them for about 2 months now. He was so excited to get to see them. Two of the alligators were right up near the fence, so we were able to get a good look at them. I think Tobyn would have been content watching the alligators all day.

It wasn't hot yesterday, which made the hot spring water perfect-o! The kids played and played for about 2 hours. We had planned to stay for about 4 hours of swim time, but after 2 hours, Tobyn said, "OK Mommy I am getting tired. Can we go home now?" It wasn't even 5 minutes in the car and both Tobyn and Zoe were crashed. Zoe finished her nap at home by sleeping another 2 hours!

It was a great, relaxing day and so nice to get out of the house!
