This past Friday we went to Buck Creek State Park
in Springfield for a picnic dinner.
It was a beautiful evening with nice temps
and low humidity. And the beach was practically
empty so we had lots of space to ourselves!
Not exactly the ocean, but not bad for Ohio!
Goose prints!
Alex
All the guys!
Me trying to get Spencer to take a picture with me.
He would step away just as I would click the shutter. haha.
The seagulls are very friendly, and expect you to
share your food.
The Mister and Alex.
A few boats passed by.
The only shells I could find up on the shore.
Guess I needed to get in the water but it was a little chilly!
Up the hill to the parking area!
Bye!

Looks like a perfectly lovely day! Oh that Spencer... :)
ReplyDeleteHe's such a stinker!
DeleteWas this your first beach picnic with your boys?
ReplyDeleteI’ll bet they really enjoyed it...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
First one this year!
DeleteHi Betsy - so glad you had a day out ... looks fun a great change for one and all ... lovely to see - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteYes, it was really fun! I could have stayed longer but they were ready to go home. haha.
DeleteLovely...just lovely to see families enjoying time together. You have captured it well.
ReplyDeleteWe're planning on going back this Friday! :)
DeleteSure looks like a perfect end to the day
ReplyDeleteAs into the giant litterbox you stray haha
Litter box for gulls and geese.
DeleteYou got that right. Pass the soap, please! hahaha.
Lovely to enjoy a summer evening by the water.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was! And thankfully not too hot!
DeleteNice to see you having fun . . :)
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteWow! I can't believe you drove all the way to Springfield, Massachusetts, just to... Oh. Springfield, Ohio. Never mind.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a story once where there was a beach very close to a field.
I think I may have read that story!
DeletePicnics are so fun! And I'm thinking you came away refreshed.
ReplyDeleteVery fun! I would have stayed much longer but the guys did great for the time we were there!
DeleteNice outing! Probably challenging at times to get all the boys out but it looks like they enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get them in the water...not even a toe. haha. We're going to try again tonight!
DeleteSo glad you could get away for the evening! I remember going there and after coming from the parking lot and standing on that hill and seeing the Lake the first time, so thrilling! Hope you have another fine Friday at the Lake.
ReplyDeleteWe do that every time....so fun to look down at the lake!
DeleteWhat a lovely and serene place, looks like you had it all by yourselves !
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are having fun this summer :)
Hugs,

We really did....the ones that were there all day were done and the place was very empty!
Deletelooks like a great day out and I like that it wasn't crowded,, I'm sure the boys loved that too!
ReplyDeleteOh yes...much easier to keep an eye on the boys if they aren't in a crowd of people! Years ago when we went here, Alex sat down on a blanket with a family and helped himself to their food. Oh my. hahaha....
