1st week of summer with the kids

                     So for fun this week we packed up and headed for a park...our original plan was to go to Lake Lowell for a picnic. We packed stuff up to grill hamburgers and I made potato salad. We got to Lake Lowell and realized that they didn't have grills...oops. So we headed off to the park at Marsing by the Snake River. I suggested it hoping it would work out. Thankfully they did have grills, so we were getting ready to start the coals and we forgot matches...oops again. So we asked a family that was grilling nearby and they let us borrow a lighter. Yay...an outing  was actually working out to our favor. We had a great time eating our grilled burgers and just enjoying the great weather. Elly must have liked it because we laid her on a blanket and she was very giggly and really enjoyed herself.  We headed home, built a fire and roasted monster sized marshmallows. It was very fun...it didn't feel quite complete to me though...Melissa was still at the Green's house and I missed her very much. I was sad that she wasn't there to enjoy it with us.
