Picnic and a walk

The boys have been missing their Grandma and so they decided that we would do something special for her today. Dalton called her last Friday and told her not to make any plans for lunch today. That was all he told her.

We arrived at her house about 12:15pm and we had a special surprise for her. We had a picnic packed. We had stopped at the walmart and picked up a BBQ chicken dinner. It had chicken, taters, salad and some rolls. We brought the drinks, water desert and some little things like grapes, and crackers and cheese. The boys had also brought her a small plant. Because Grandma loves flowers and plants.

She was surprised.

So we went to the park not too far from her house and had our picnic. We had some lunch and then we decided that since they had finished the little boardwalk that we would take a little walk and try it out.

The kids of course looked over the edge and saw some turtles and fish. Giving their mother a panic attack the whole time, and then they would complain about the walking it was about 2 miles of walking. They did well, we just strolled but it was warm.

Funny how kids can play in a park all day getting sweaty and never notice the heat, but they notice when they aren't doing something as fun.

We stopped a couple of times in the shade for the kids to cuddle her hot or not then we dropped her off back at home. It was a good time and we had fun with Grandma. I am glad that my boys have such a good relationship with their families. One day they will need them.
So after our sensible and practical lunch and burning a few extra calories to add to my walk this morning, we had a great day!

Thanks for spending the day with us Grandma!

We love you!
