A beautiful picnic and hike around the lake

I went with some friends from church. She takes her boys for hikes everyday in the summer. I was so happy to find a trail so close to the road, so we didn't have to pay anything, we just parked on the side and just started down the trail by the lake. What fun!!! AJ of course wanted to forever eat the sand and chew on the sticks on the beach by the lake shore. Jared got in the freezy water with the other boys for awhile and just loved it. We had a sandy picnic.. who ever knew that you could have such a crunchy sandwich. They boys just loved it!! We then continued to hike for about another mile up along the shore line. I really enjoyed visiting with my friend, Kimber and watching her boys run between the trees and teach Jared all sorts of things.
