A Walk in the Park... or Rather a Run and a Picnic

This past Saturday we went to Hamburg State Park in Warthen, GA to just spend the day and have a picnic.
We had such a good time, as usual.
You may remember we made a similar trip in September, if not here's the post  and you can see the pictures and how much has changed in the last 6 or so months.

This was an awesome day:

This is for my dad, who insisted I find a better pic of him to put on the blog.

Things I Learned Yesterday

Yesterday I kept Tristan out of school by request of my Dad and his wife, Linda.

(and before I hear anything about it being irresponsible to keep him out when he's not sick, 

let me say that some of my fondest memories are of my mom keeping me out for a "mental health day"

and it never did me any harm.  

in moderation i believe this is a good practice.)

Anywho.

We went to spend the day having a picnic at Hamburg State Park

I had never been there before and it's a really nice park.

Seeing as it was a tuesday the place was completely quiet and empty.

Which was ideal.  

Because Maggie-Moo got to run around free!!

I learned that she was supposed to be on a 6 ft leash in the park

But what the park doesn't know doesn't hurt them.
