We were supposed to go to a riding lesson today but that got cancelled 10 minutes before we were to leave.  There were city trucks trimming trees by the riding arena and would have spooked Snickers and that would have made for a bad lesson.

So instead we packed up a picnic lunch and headed to Emma Long  Park.  I haven't been there in many many years and my friend Amy went with her family and so that made me remember it.  The kids were able to get in the lake and just splash around.  They also used their buckets to dig up sand and make meals out of it.  Ryan attempted to put his feet in but said "cold" and pulled them right back out.  He enjoyed throwing things in to the other kids.  We had a nice shade tree and a blanket out and had our little picnic lunch and just had a good time.
