Saturday morning we woke up to WHAT???? CLOUDS????? OVERCAST SKIES????? VERY COOL WEATHER????? Oh well, it's called go with the flow!!!
Jessi's family headed to the reservoir early in order to get one of the canopies with picnic tables underneath since we didn't want to be out in the hot sun all the time!! Trust me, the sun was NOT a problem that day!!
The rest of us made sandwiches and packed the cooler and headed out about 9:00am! One thing about the cloud cover is you didn't have to worry about taking pictures! Here's Robby and Jaime before heading over to the volleyball court!
Kenzie found her favorite person and had fun playing in the sand!
And the cool weather didn't stop the boys!! They found a bug in the sand so of course had to cover it with sand and drown it - typical boys!
Rayna's our volleyball gal and persuaded several of the gang to play - I opted to sit in the sand covered up with a blanket!
It just wouldn't be a picnic without miami vices!!! I made them before I left and froze them - by the time we were ready to drink them, the consistency was perfect (note the pina colada is in the bottom 1/2)
Jill made cupcakes for Aleah's birthday - we had candles but no matches - it was a little windy anyway by this time so she "pretended" to blow out the candle!
And little Parker - he could NOT get that cupcake in his mouth fast enough - it was hilarious watching him eat it!
We had an extra set of friends there with us so it made it easy to get a family picture taken! It actually didn't turn out TOO bad - I'm not sure what Kylan has in his mouth - or maybe he's sticking his tongue out????
We headed home about noon, just as the sun comes out - figures..............But it was nap time for the kids and us 4 girls were heading to a movie - yes we went and saw "Magic Mike". Yes, it was a fun movie to see with the "girls" but I'm not really going to recommend it because it wasn't all that great and the language was horrible - am I just getting old??????
We grilled hamburgers in the storm that followed later that afternoon but nobody complained because the rain was WONDERFUL!!!! The guys opted to go fishing a little later but not much luck after the rain. However they did go out the next morning about 5:00am and the results are below!! Brad was certainly all smiles after his catch!!! And Glenn and I headed home with 2 little boys in tow who were so excited all weekend that all we heard was "Is it time to go your house yet?"

What a great time. And yes even though clouds and rain are not the best to be outside in, we welcome it. Send some our way. At least the heat wave broke and mornings are very comfortable though it is horribly dry here.
We can even have a great time on a cloudy day!! It was so much fun! And guess what - Kylan has his open mouthful of food in my family pictures too! UGH!!!
