Fun at the Canal

I'm such a slacker.
Last week we had a little fieldtrip down to the canal at a friend's house. The DeFaye's invited us over to play in the canal and have a picnic lunch. David didn't care so much about the lunch but really enjoyed the water. He just ran back and forth, back and forth, threw rocks and had a pretty good time. David was able to play with his friends Zak, Ava and Shelby.













Now you may be wondering were all the other kids are. Well, Zak is in one picture. Here's the answer, the other kids wanted to eat their lunches, David wanted to play and didn't care about eating.

I was able to visit with a good friend on mine Valerie Holman. A funny thing happened while we were finding our place at the canal. Valerie and I drove down to the canal in the Trooper with the kids loose in the back. We drove along the canal a ways and then decided to turn around. We turned to the right and the weeds were higher than Valerie thought so we were tilted very heavily to one side (the right side) and had a hard time getting the car to move. First Shelby started to cry and then David joined in. Finally the bright idea came to put it in 4-wheel drive. We got out just fine. After getting to our spot on the canal David kept saying that the Trooper tipped over. It's funny now but David was scared at the time.

We really enjoyed our time in the water and with our friends.
