Monday afternoon, we headed over to one of the nature preserves to hang out with some friends and enjoy the 70 degree weather! They have an annual Fairy House festival here and the kids enjoyed playing with the storytelling structure that was left intact.
It was made from bamboo and decorated with seed pods and pine boughs. The kids spent half the time adding to the interior.
One of our favorite fairy houses on the fairy trail (not built by us) excuse the sideways pic-blogger is being a pain right now...arrgghh.
someone had created a child sized fort using the bamboo. The boys loved checking it out.
They wanted me and Kenna to get in too. It was a tight squeeze for this tall mama with a backpack on and wearing a baby. I could barely turn around and I am pretty sure I whacked Benji in the face with the backpack!
The other half of the time was spent on the lakefront. Kenna has pretty much decided that she would much rather be down and eating things off the ground then all snuggly with her mama. She was pretty grimy by the end of the day, but she had oh so much fun!
And who can resist playing in the water! It was too tempting to not wade deeper and deeper and the boys were all completely soaked and happy by the time we had to leave.
There is something relaxing about splashing in the lake and digging your toes in the sand. We all had soooo much fun and it was such a beautiful day! We can't wait to do it again soon.
