Picnic at the Lake

As a last official summer hurrah, the three humans of the household drove an hour north to the state park at Lake Livingston to explore and have a picnic. We drove around looking for a good spot in the shade. The park was beautiful, the breeze was blowing around the lake, and the sun was shining. We picked our table and got out of the car. The air was...stagnant, humid, sticky, heavy, HOT! With the cool, cool AC blowing in the car we didn't realize that OUTSIDE with the humidity it was feeling like 105 degrees!!! We ate our lunch as quickly as Remi would allow, and took a walk down to the park's swimming pool. Halfway there, Remi gave up and wanted to be carried. We poured as much cool water down his gullet as he would take and continued on to the lake. We got to the water's edge THERE WAS NO BREEZE. It felt like a furnance. We were all sweating bullets and I swear baby #2 was sweating in the womb. We were so disappointed because it is a beautiful place that we would have loved to explored for hours. I guess we'll wait 2-3 months before we go back, when temps are in the 70s. After we gave up, we took Remi to a place I SWORE we would never take him...McDonald's. We got ice cream and french fries and tried to convince him that the playland was fun. He wasn't convinced. So we went home. The End.
