Too much ketchup..

Have you ever had a day that is just meant for relaxing? Well, last Saturday was just like that. My family and I got some stuff for a cookout and headed out to the park! I kind of realized once we got there that it was warmer than I thought it was..I then regretted the choice of my long sleeve shirt. :P 

 After a while of watching my siblings play on the awesome tire swing, Bree, Sarah, and I decided to go along the footpath in the woods that brings you to the river. Ah....the river! As we goofed off (you know, running down the steep parts laughing all the way...haha!) we snapped tons of pictures. I got quite a bit of blurry ones. ;) We finally found a little spot where we could easily get into the river. I have never felt a more perfect temperature in a river...ever! It felt as sweet and warm as the air..but it had strength and soft movements. I could have stood there all day, letting it run through my fingers, but the girls reminded me that we had to get back before the food was all gone. ;)

 So, after hotdogs, chips, soda (sorry people, I call it soda.. I know some call it pop..or soda pop. lol!), cookies, and those orange packing peanuts we all call cheese puffs. We were stuffed.. of junk food. haha! I kind of decided that swinging wasn't going to be a good idea after I ate so much. 

We spent a good few hours and the park and then headed home to the ice cream waiting in the freezer. You got it..a total junk food day. :D I then grabbed my book (haha, I'm stuck on these Christian westerns..) and sat down while my the rest of my family watched the new Gruffalo movie. Have you ever seen these REALLY cute movies? There are two of them. :) 

 Oh, and something exciting to tell you all! I am officially going to be taking drivers ed this October, so if you could be praying that my nerves won't be sky rocketing, that would be amazing. :D I'm planning on writing up some blog posts about it, but I don't know how many pictures I'll be able to include... I mean, I really can't take photos during class nor when driving! ;) I might be able to snap some when it isn't my turn behind the wheel though! 

Did you take drivers ed? If so, what is your favorite part about driving? How often do you go to parks??

And what is your favorite ice cream?
