Gratitude leads to happiness - Day 25

Today I am thankful for the simple things that we do as a family to have good quality time together.

I've been feeling a bit house bound recently since we've not long recovered from a cold (knocked out the wee one for the longest) and the weather has not been very good to get outside in.

So, I suggested that we get out and pack a picnic lunch and head down to the lake for a play. There's a playground for my daughter to enjoy going on the swings and slides and there's also enough of a field for us to throw something for the dog to chase, usually a ball or stick. It's just by the lake so we try and throw the stick so it will get in the water and he has to swim to retrieve it.

Charlie had a swim in the lake and enjoyed chasing the stick!

Everyone had a great time, we got some good fresh air and it cost us nothing! I love being able to spend time together and making great memories.
