This year for Memorial Day we headed out to Skiatook Lake to a place called Tall Chief Cove. We went with quite a few other families from the ward and we grilled out and all brought sides to share. All day there was a chance of rain so for the most part it was a little cool and chilly, but that didn't stop any of the kids from wanting to get into the water and to play. Chase had a blast. He seriously went non-stop from the time we got there (about 10:30 AM) till the time we went home (4:00 PM). He walked right down to "the beach" and got in the water. I was up hauling things from the car to our picnic spot and so I missed it when he caught a snake! YES, A SNAKE! My little boy who is afraid of ANTS caught and held a SNAKE! Luckily, my friend, Kristen, was down there and snapped a couple pictures for me. They said the snake struck at him and tried to bite him, but I don't think it actually succeeded in it. Chase told me about it and thought he was pretty awesome stuff for catching it.
Like I said, it was pretty cloudy, especially in the morning, but that didn't stop Chase. He had so much fun and told me that he loves "the beach." His swim suit he wore was a little big so his bum crack kept showing as he swam and played in the water. It was pretty funny. He had a good time building sand castles, moats, and digging for rocks with friends. He even made a friend while there. He told me that she had a "pwetty swim suit like Emma and she was pwetty like Emma." Chase loves his cousin Emma! :)
Even though the water was a little chilly, Baby D had a BLAST! He had so much fun sitting in the water and splashing and trying to eat the sand. I must admit, he managed to get a few little globs of sand in his mouth. Haha. He was such a good baby and had so much fun.
We all had a great time. I ended up getting FRIED. I had put one coat of sunscreen on in the early afternoon, but didn't bother to put any more on the rest of the day because it was never too sunny, but I got burnt. I did go to Big Splash the next day with McLacey and I was burnt so I wore a shirt the whole time and I even put sunscreen on, but I swear I got burned through my shirt even more. Nontheless, I was MISERABLE for a few days. I blistered pretty bad one day after I exercised and then I peeled, Its all okay now though, thank goodness. We had a wonderful time and plan on going back again sometime this summer!

It was a fun day to be sure! What made it the most fun was being with friends and family. A tradition to keep going for sure!
Fun day minus the sunburn!
