A Day at the Suwannee River State Park

Today we went to the Suwannee River State Park and had a wonderful time. Kevin unexpectedly had the day off because his kids at school had a field trip to go on and Kevin did not go. So we got to spend a much needed day with him! :-) We were going with the intention of going on a picnic and really did not know what else to expect when we got there. So we packed a lunch, 6 kids, and a dog and headed out! We ended up spending most of the day there. We got there and ate lunch and then the kids played on the playground. Then we starting walking and found a boat ramp and Kevin wanted to see if Amelia (our dog for those of you that don't know we have a dog) liked to swim. So he threw her in and she LOVED it. I would have thought it would have been too cold, but I think she was so hot by this time it did not matter. So then we starting going on a hiking trail. I thought we were crazy we had the babies in the stroller which they hate being in by the way. There were a few times that Kevin and I had to lift the stroller over very bumpy areas, but for the most part it was not too bad. The trail says it is suppose to take 20 min, but we stopped at EVERY stop point and I think that we made some of our own. The kids had a GREAT time. We had a GREAT time and so did Amelia. All this trip cost was $4 by the way. You can't beat that! There are other things to do at the park,.. We can fish, rent a canoe, and even camp. I am not sure about camping with the twins quite yet, but maybe in time I will be brave enough!
