Dad's Day Off

Brian had the day off on Friday. He mowed the lawn and worked in his garden. Later in the day we headed out for Chinese takeout and a trip to one of our favorite places, one of the locks on the Champlain Canal. It is a lovely park like setting with picnic tables and lots of trees around.

We stopped on the way home and bought ice cream and cones. The kids put on their suits while we scooped out the cones and then headed outside. I nice ice cream then a dip in the pool to follow. Wonderful summer activities.

The tramp makes a good spot to eat ice cream

We've been wanting a new trampoline and seeing your pics keeps reminding me to look for one. Can you believe I found a used one the other day for a very reasonable price. I'm going to get it tomorrow!

That is very cool, Cynthia! This tramp was a real blessing for us. One of the fellows Bri works with gave it to us. Your kids will love having the tramp again.

Debbie, I love seeing all of your pics. You have the smiley-est kids! We took our tramp down. It had gotten pretty trashed over the past several years, and the webbing had a hole in it. My kids miss it a lot. We used to read on it a lot in the mornings for school, eat lunch on it, etc. too.
