Family Day Trip 2010

Sorry everyone - I've been so busy, I haven't had time to do a Tasty Tuesday the past two weeks. I promise there will be one tomorrow though!
Instead, I am going to post some pictures from a Day trip that my family took a couple weeks ago. On a Tuesday my dad up and said "Lets take a little trip". We all packed up a cooler full of drinks in the van and left after lunch. It was a great day to go since my older brother was off work, and who knew if we would even get a chance to get to go again. This was sort of our "vacation" for the year. It was so much fun because it was spontaneous, relaxed, and we didn't have to worry about anything.

We started out in Wabash, Indiana and did a "River Walk".

My oldest brother works a lot so we don't get to actually travel and spend time as a whole family sometimes. It was awesome that he had the day off so he could come along! :)

My sister and brother acting silly. Go figure, they both have brown eyes. Ha ha. :D

My little Manny! :) He didn't want me taking his picture, but when he saw big brother was letting me he figured it was okay.

Some gorgeous Daisies around there. I loved this in sepia!

Little sister was sporting my hat...trying to keep the sun off of her fair face.

Butterflies were everywhere! I was happy to get at least one good shot!

My Mom and Dad. I love them very much.

We left Wabash and headed over to Salamonie Reservoir for a little swim.

The beach was practically empty which was really nice! I, however, forgot my swimsuit, so I just watched the younger kids play and took some pictures. It was such a beautiful day anyway!

Matthew kept running down the beach at lightning speed! He doesn't like the water very much so he spends most of his time on the beach building sand castles or attempting to get dry people wet.

Rachel cried when we left! She had so much fun! We didn't bring any beach toys, so I made her one out of a small container that we carried cookies in. She used that to build sandcastles and throw water on my jeans.

To end our perfect day, we took a drive over the dam on our way home. Such a beautiful view!
