At the Lake

We planned to take a walk around a nearby lake.  It's really beautiful and there are hiking trails leading through the wooded hills surrounding the lake.  But we only "hiked" as far as the lake.  There's a great swimming area and the kids were very excited about it, so I told them they could take off their shoes and socks and dip their feet in.  Of course, this meant the boys all got soaking wet and filthy with sand and we had to go straight home afterward.  It made a good picture anyway...
