Woodwater Farmhouse

Our children are with me for most of their waking life.....homeschooling affords me this awesome benefit.

Beginning of the week they forecasted 65 and sunny for today...of course being a weatherman (or woman ) is the best of jobs, you can be wrong all the time and still keep your job!  LOL....today ended up being 45 and windy, with partial sun.  The wind was whipping good and I am sure brought the temps down considerably.  We had planned a little home school picnic/bbq at a local lake that has a little beach on it. There were originally 4 families coming, last minute one of the families got sick so there were 3 of us.  We got there early to "set up" and our clan lasted 2 hours!   IT was cold, but we were bundled up and felt fine.  The kids were running and playing in the sandbox and playground ( we did not even get near the lake) Notice my rocks on the table...LOL This is Zachary right after he fell on the playground from pretty high up and got the wind knocked out of him.
