Last week the kids and I took a short road trip to visit friends in Norwalk. We lived there only about 2 1/2 years, but have made some friendships that are more like family. We stayed with my friend, Kim, and her hubby and daughter, Carly. They were the best hosts...made us lots of yummy food :) We had a great time visiting with her and her family (whom we are also very close to). One day, we drove the short distance to Lake Erie. Really, it's only about 15 minutes away. I forgot how much I missed being that close to a body of water and sand! We brought a picnic lunch and played for the day in the sand and water. The weather was great for the beach...almost chilly when the sun went behind a cloud, though! Ava was pretty content to play along with Joshua on the sand, while the older kids like splashing around in the lake. Here are some cute pictures of our time at the lake. Thanks, Kim, for making the trip so much fun! I LOVE YOUR FAMILY!!!
