Huntsville State Park

Last Saturday Chris and I decided to do "something," to get out of the house! So, we loaded up the girls...(Brittany wasn't in town and Jacob, of course, stayed in town with his dad to get his car...)...and drove to Huntsville State Park for the day. We wanted to try and rent a screened shelter and stay overnight, but it just wasn't meant to be, as they were all rented. So, we figured we'd just grill some good food, swim, maybe do some canoeing and horseback riding and check it out for camping next time.


Turns out the girls didn't want to canoe, or swim, because the swimming area was so crowded, but we did enjoy ourselves just relaxing, taking in the scenery, and grilling some shrimp, steak, corn on the cob and good veggies....



This little bird was too cute...it started singing to us and came in for a closer look and inspection...


Chris took advantage of the lounging and relaxation....


As did the girls...lol...although, they may prefer to call it "being bored"...




So, Mal decided that she would "fix" her Dad's hair, while we waited on the food to get ready...


Awww....ain't he purty?? LOL



Finally, Chris could take the heat no longer...and took the plunge...

We have decided that we are going to try to rent a screened shelter some time this summer and take ALL the kids there, as well as invite family and friends, so that we can do all the fun things like canoeing, horseback riding and hiking.



It really is beautiful there....
