Picnic in the Park

In an effort to get away from the house for awhile (& *not* go shopping), the kids and I took a trip to the Pea Ridge Military Park. We watched a short video about the Civil War, and then drove through the park, stopping to take a few pics by the old cannons. We also packed a picnic lunch and had some really good "lazy" time on a blanket under a tree.

Have I mentioned how difficult it is to get a good picture of Max? It seems the kid is always in motion or looking away when I press the shutter button. Or...in this case, raising his shirt so everyone can see his tummy! I've been deleting lots of shots from the camera, but I think I'll keep this one. :-)
