Since we had yet another beautiful day, we decided to explore a regional park we had not been to before: Hidden Falls Park, in St Paul. We packed a picnic lunch and set off. One of the kids' favorite things to do is to "explore". They found shells and exoskeletons and cool rocks. Tom taught Luke and Nicholas how to skip rocks. Nicholas got it right away. Luke missed the river and hit Nicholas in the side of the head right away. Opps.





A very friendly woman came up to us and said that we looked like such a cute and adventurous family and she offered to take a picture of all of us. She told us that all of the pictures she has of her family consisted of her son and husband because she was always behind the camera.

Charlie took a break to write "T"s in the sand.

What a crew!
